In some designs, a Collection of Object Representations 525 may include or be associated with a time stamp (not shown), order (not shown), or other time related information. For example, one Collection of Object Representations 525 may be associated with time stamp t1, another Collection of Object Representations 525 may be associated with time stamp t2, and so on. Time stamps t1, t2, etc. may indicate the times of generating Collections of Object Representations 525, for instance. In other embodiments, Object Processing Unit 140 comprises the functionality for creating or generating a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525. A stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 may include one Collection of Object Representations 525 or a group, sequence, or other plurality of Collections of Object Representations 525. In some aspects, a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 includes one or more Collections of Object Representations 525, and/or other elements or information related to objects in Avatar's 605 surrounding over time. A stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 may, therefore, include knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of Avatar's 605 circumstance including objects with various properties over time. As circumstances including objects with various properties in Avatar's 605 surrounding change (i.e. objects and/or their properties change, move, act, transform, etc.) over time, this change may be captured in a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525. In some designs, each Collection of Object Representations 525 in a stream may include or be associated with the aforementioned time stamp, order, or other time related information. For example, one Collection of Object Representations 525 in a stream may be associated with order 1, a next Collection of Object Representations 525 in the stream may be associated with order 2, and so on. Orders 1, 2, etc. may indicate the orders or places of Collections of Object Representations 525 within a stream (i.e. sequence, etc.), for instance. In some implementations, Object Processing Unit 140 and/or any of its elements or functionalities can be included or embedded in Computing Device 70, Processor 11, Application Program 18, and/or other elements. Object Processing Unit 140 can be provided in any suitable configuration.

It should be noted that Unity 3D Engine, Unreal Engine, and Torque 3D Engine are used merely as examples of a variety of engines, environments, or systems that can be used to implement Application Program 18 and any of the aforementioned functionalities may be provided in other engines, environments, or systems. Also, in some embodiments, Application Program 18 may not use any engine, environment, or system for its implementation, in which case the aforementioned functionalities can be implemented within Application Program 18. In general, the disclosed devices, systems, and methods are independent of the engine, environment, or system used to implement Application Program 18.

Referring to FIG. 3, an embodiment of utilizing Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92 is illustrated.

Picture Renderer 91 comprises the functionality for rendering or generating one or more digital pictures, and/or other functionalities. Picture Renderer 91 comprises the functionality for rendering or generating one or more digital pictures of Application Program 18. In some aspects, as a camera is used to capture pictures of a physical environment, Picture Renderer 91 can be used to render or generate pictures of a computer modeled or represented environment. As such, Picture Renderer 91 can be used to render or generate views of Application Program 18. In some designs, Picture Renderer 91 can be used to render or generate one or more digital pictures depicting a view of an Avatar's 605 visual surrounding in a 3D Application Program 18 (i.e. 3D computer game, virtual world application, CAD application, etc.). In one example, a view may include a first-person view or perspective such as a view through an avatar's eyes that shows objects around the avatar, but does not typically show the avatar itself. First-person view may sometimes include the avatar's hands, feet, other body parts, and/or objects that the avatar is holding. In another example, a view may include a third-person view or perspective such as a view that shows an avatar as well as objects around the avatar from an observer's point of view. In a further example, a view may include a view from a front of an avatar. In a further example, a view may include a view from a side of an avatar. In a further example, a view may include any stationary or movable view such as a view through a simulated camera in a 3D Application Program 18. In other designs, Picture Renderer 91 can be used to render or generate one or more digital pictures depicting a view of a 2D Application Program 18. In one example, a view may include a screenshot or portion thereof of a 2D Application Program 18. In a further example, a view may include an area of interest of a 2D Application Program 18. In a further example, a view may include a top-down view of a 2D Application Program 18. In a further example, a view may include a side-on view of a 2D Application Program 18. Any other view can be utilized in alternate designs. Any view utilized in a 3D Application Program 18 can similarly be utilized in a 2D Application Program 18 as applicable, and vice versa. In some implementations, Picture Renderer 91 may include any graphics processing device, apparatus, system, or application that can render or generate one or more digital pictures from a computer (i.e. 3D, 2D, etc.) model or representation. In some aspects, rendering, when used casually, may refer to rendering or generating one or more digital pictures from a computer model or representation, providing the one or more digital pictures to a display device, and/or displaying of the one or more digital pictures on a display device. In some embodiments, Picture Renderer 91 can be a program executing or operating on Processor 11. In one example, Picture Renderer 91 can be provided in a rendering engine such as Direct3D, OpenGL, Mantle, and/or other programs or systems for rendering or processing 3D or 2D graphics. In other embodiments, Picture Renderer 91 can be part of, embedded into, or built into Processor 11. In further embodiments, Picture Renderer 91 can be a hardware element coupled to Processor 11 and/or other elements. In further embodiments, Picture Renderer 91 can be a program or hardware element that is part of or embedded into another element. In one example, a graphics card and/or its graphics processing unit (i.e. GPU, etc.) may typically include Picture Renderer 91. In another example, ACAAO Unit 100 may include Picture Renderer 91. In a further example, Application Program 18 may include Picture Renderer 91. In general, Picture Renderer 91 can be implemented in any suitable configuration to provide its functionalities. Picture Renderer 91 may render or generate one or more digital pictures or streams of digital pictures (i.e. motion pictures, video, etc.) in various formats examples of which include JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, MPEG, AVI, FLV, MOV, RM, SWF, WMV, DivX, and/or others. In some designs, Picture Renderer 91 can render or generate different digital pictures of Avatar's 605 visual surrounding or of views of Application Program 18 for displaying on Display 21 and for facilitating object recognition functionalities herein. For example, a third-person view may be displayed on Display 21 for User 50 to see and a first-person view may be used to facilitate object recognition functionalities herein. In some implementations of non-graphical Application Programs 18 such as simulations, calculations, and/or others, Picture Renderer 91 may render or generate one or more digital pictures of Avatar's 605 visual surrounding or of views of Application Program 18 to facilitate object recognition functionalities herein where the one or more digital pictures are never displayed. In some aspects, instead of or in addition to Picture Renderer 91, one or more digital pictures of Avatar's 605 visual surrounding or of views of Application Program 18 can be obtained from any element of a computing device or system that can provide such digital pictures. Examples of such elements include a graphics circuit, a graphics system, a graphics driver, a graphics interface, and/or others.

Picture Recognizer 92 comprises the functionality for detecting or recognizing objects and/or their properties in visual data, and/or other disclosed functionalities. Visual data includes digital motion pictures, digital still pictures, and/or other visual data. Examples of file formats that can be utilized to store visual data include JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, MPEG, AVI, FLV, MOV, RM, SWF, WMV, DivX, and/or other file formats. In some designs, Picture Recognizer 92 can be used for detecting or recognizing objects and/or their properties in one or more digital pictures from Picture Renderer 91. For example, Picture Recognizer 92 can be utilized in detecting or recognizing existence of an object, type of an object, identity of an object, shape/size of an object, activity of an object, and/or other properties of an object. In general, Picture Recognizer 92 can be used for any operation supported by Picture Recognizer 92. Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize an object and/or its properties as well as track the object and/or its properties in one or more digital pictures or streams of digital pictures (i.e. motion pictures, video, etc.). In the case of a person, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize a human head or face, upper body, full body, or portions/combinations thereof. In some aspects, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize objects and/or their properties from a digital picture by comparing regions of pixels from the digital picture with collections of pixels comprising known objects and/or their properties. The collections of pixels comprising known objects and/or their properties can be learned or manually, programmatically, or otherwise defined. The collections of pixels comprising known objects and/or their properties can be stored in any data structure or repository (i.e. one or more files, database, etc.) that resides locally on Computing Device 70, or remotely on a remote computing device (i.e. server, cloud, etc.) accessible over a network or an interface. In other aspects, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize objects and/or their properties from a digital picture by comparing features (i.e. lines, edges, ridges, corners, blobs, regions, etc.) of the digital picture with features of known objects and/or their properties. The features of known objects and/or their properties can be learned or manually, programmatically, or otherwise defined. The features of known objects and/or their properties can be stored in any data structure or repository (i.e. neural network, one or more files, database, etc.) that resides locally on Computing Device 70, or remotely on a remote computing device (i.e. server, cloud, etc.) accessible over a network or an interface. Typical steps or elements in a feature oriented picture recognition include pre-processing, feature extraction, detection/segmentation, decision-making, and/or others, or a combination thereof, each of which may include its own sub-steps or sub-elements depending on the application. In further aspects, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize multiple objects and/or their properties from a digital picture using the aforementioned pixel or feature comparisons, and/or other detection or recognition techniques. For example, a picture may depict two objects in two of its regions both of which Picture Recognizer 92 can detect simultaneously. In further aspects, where objects and/or their properties span multiple pictures, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize objects and/or their properties by applying the aforementioned pixel or feature comparisons and/or other detection or recognition techniques over a stream of digital pictures (i.e. motion picture, video, etc.). For example, once an object is detected in a digital picture (i.e. frame, etc.) of a stream of digital pictures (i.e. motion picture, video, etc.), the region of pixels comprising the detected object or the object's features can be searched in other pictures of the stream of digital pictures, thereby tracking the object through the stream of digital pictures. In further aspects, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize an object's activities by identifying and/or analyzing differences between a detected region of pixels of one picture (i.e. frame, etc.) and detected regions of pixels of other pictures in a stream of digital pictures. For example, a region of pixels comprising a person's face can be detected in multiple consecutive pictures of a stream of digital pictures (i.e. motion picture, video, etc.). Differences among the detected regions of the consecutive pictures may be identified in the mouth part of the person's face to indicate smiling or speaking activity. In further aspects, Picture Recognizer 92 may detect or recognize objects and/or their properties using one or more artificial neural networks, which may include statistical techniques. Examples of artificial neural networks that can be used in Picture Recognizer 92 include convolutional neural networks (CNNs), time delay neural networks (TDNNs), deep neural networks, and/or others. In one example, picture recognition techniques and/or tools involving convolutional neural networks may include identifying and/or analyzing tiled and/or overlapping regions or features of a digital picture, which may then be used to search for pictures with matching regions or features. In another example, features of different convolutional neural networks responsible for spatial and temporal streams can be fused to detect objects and/or their properties in streams of digital pictures (i.e. motion pictures, videos, etc.). In general, Picture Recognizer 92 may include any machine learning, deep learning, and/or other artificial intelligence techniques. Any other techniques known in art can be utilized in Picture Recognizer 92. For example, thresholds for similarity, statistical techniques, and/or optimization techniques can be utilized to determine a match in any of the above-described detection or recognition techniques.

Various aspects or properties of digital pictures or pixels can be taken into account by Picture Recognizer 92 in any of the recognizing or comparisons. Examples of such aspects or properties include color adjustment, size adjustment, content manipulation, transparency (i.e. alpha channel, etc.), use of mask, and/or others. In some implementations, as digital pictures can be captured or generated by various equipment, in various environments, and under various lighting conditions, Picture Recognizer 92 can adjust lighting or color of pixels or otherwise manipulate pixels before or during comparison. Lighting or color adjustment (also referred to as gray balance, neutral balance, white balance, etc.) may generally include manipulating or rebalancing the intensities of the colors (i.e. red, green, and/or blue if RGB color model is used, etc.) of one or more pixels. For example, Picture Recognizer 92 can adjust lighting or color of some or all pixels of one picture to make it more comparable to another picture. Picture Recognizer 92 can also incrementally adjust the pixels such as increasing or decreasing the red, green, and/or blue pixel values by a certain amount in each cycle of comparisons in order to find a similarity or match at one of the incremental adjustment levels. Any of the publically available, custom, or other lighting or color adjustment techniques or programs can be utilized such as color filters, color balancing, color correction, and/or others. In other implementations, Picture Recognizer 92 can resize or otherwise transform a digital picture before or during comparison. Such resizing or transformation may include increasing or decreasing the number of pixels of a digital picture. For example, Picture Recognizer 92 can increase or decrease the size of a digital picture proportionally (i.e. increase or decrease length and/or width keeping aspect ratio constant, etc.) to equate its size with the size of another digital picture. Picture Recognizer 92 can also incrementally resize a digital picture such as increasing or decreasing the size of the digital picture proportionally by a certain amount in each cycle of comparisons in order to find a similarity or match at one of the incremental sizes. Any of the publically available, custom, or other digital picture resizing techniques or programs can be utilized such as nearest-neighbor interpolation, bilinear interpolation, bicubic interpolation, and/or others. In further implementations, Picture Recognizer 92 can manipulate content (i.e. all pixels, one or more regions, one or more depicted objects, etc.) of a digital picture before or during comparison. Such content manipulation may include moving, centering, aligning, resizing, transforming, and/or otherwise manipulating content of a digital picture. For example, Picture Recognizer 92 can move, center, or align content of one picture to make it more comparable to another picture. Any of the publically available, custom, or other digital picture manipulation techniques or programs can be utilized such as pixel moving, warping, distorting, aforementioned interpolations, and/or others. In further implementations, in digital pictures comprising transparency features or functionalities, Picture Recognizer 92 can utilize a threshold for acceptable number or percentage transparency difference. Alternatively, transparency can be applied to one or more pixels of a digital picture and color difference may then be determined between compared pixels taking into account the transparency related color effect. Alternatively, transparent pixels can be excluded from comparison. In further implementations, certain regions or subsets of pixels can be ignored or excluded during comparison using a mask. In general, any region or subset of a picture determined to contain no content of interest can be excluded from comparison using a mask. Examples of such regions or subsets include background, transparent or partially transparent regions, regions comprising insignificant content, or any arbitrary region or subset. Picture Recognizer 92 can perform any other pre-processing or manipulation of digital pictures or pixels before or during recognizing or comparison.

In some exemplary embodiments, object recognition techniques and/or tools such as OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) library, CamFind API, Kooaba, 6px API, Dextro API, and/or others can be utilized for detecting or recognizing objects and/or their properties in digital pictures. In some aspects, picture recognition techniques and/or tools involve identifying and/or analyzing features such as lines, edges, ridges, corners, blobs, regions, and/or their relative positions, sizes, shapes, etc., which may then be used to search for pictures with matching features. For example, OpenCV library can detect an object (i.e. person, animal, vehicle, rock, etc.) and/or its properties in one or more digital pictures from Picture Renderer 91 or stored in an electronic repository, which can then be utilized in ACAAO Unit 100, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110, and/or other elements. In other exemplary embodiments, facial recognition techniques and/or tools such as OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) library, Animetrics FaceR API, Lambda Labs Facial Recognition API, Face++ SDK, Neven Vision (also known as N-Vision) Engine, and/or others can be utilized for detecting or recognizing faces in digital pictures. In some aspects, facial recognition techniques and/or tools involve identifying and/or analyzing facial features such as the relative position, size, and/or shape of the eyes, nose, cheekbones, jaw, etc., which may then be used to search for pictures with matching features. For example, FaceR API can detect a person's face in one or more digital pictures from Picture Renderer 91 or stored in an electronic repository, which can then be utilized in ACAAO Unit 100, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110, and/or other elements.

It should be noted that Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92 can optionally be used to detect objects and/or their properties that cannot not be obtained from Application Program 18 or from an engine, environment, or system used to implement Application Program 18. Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92 can also optionally be used where Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92 offer superior performance in detecting objects and/or their properties. Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92 can also optionally be used to confirm objects and/or their properties obtained or detected by other means. For example, identity of an object, type of an object, and/or action of an object, if needed, can be recognized or confirmed through picture processing of Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92. Picture Renderer 91 and Picture Recognizer 92 can be omitted depending on implementation.

Referring to FIG. 4, an embodiment of utilizing Sound Renderer 96 and Sound Recognizer 97 is illustrated.

Sound Renderer 96 comprises the functionality for rendering or generating digital sound, and/or other functionalities. Sound Renderer 96 comprises the functionality for rendering or generating digital sound of Application Program 18. In some aspects, as a microphone is used to capture sound of a physical environment, Sound Renderer 96 can be used to render or generate sound of a computer modeled or represented environment. As such, Sound Renderer 96 can be used to render or generate sound of Application Program 18. In some designs, Sound Renderer 96 can be used to render or generate digital sound from Avatar's 605 surrounding in a 3D Application Program 18 (i.e. 3D computer game, virtual world application, CAD application, etc.). For example, emission of a sound from a sound source may be simulated/modeled in a virtual space of a 3D Application Program 18, propagation of the sound may be simulated/modeled through the virtual space including any scattering, reflections, refractions, diffractions, and/or other effects, and the sound may be rendered or generated as perceived by a listener (i.e. Avatar 605, etc.). In other designs, Sound Renderer 96 can be used to render or generate digital sound of a 2D Application Program 18 which may include any of the aforementioned and/or other sound simulation/modeling as applicable to 2D spaces. In further designs, Sound Renderer 96 can be optionally omitted in a simple Application Program 18 where no sound simulation/modeling is needed or where sounds may simply be played. In some implementations, Sound Renderer 96 may include any sound processing device, apparatus, system, or application that can render or generate digital sound.

ACAAO Unit 100 can be provided in a combination of the aforementioned or other suitable configurations in alternate designs.

When ACAAO Unit 100 functionalities are applied to Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element, Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element may become autonomous. ACAAO Unit 100 may take control from, share control with, and/or release control to Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element to implement autonomous operation of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element. ACAAO Unit 100 may take control from, share control with, and/or release control to Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element automatically or after prompting User 50 to allow it. In some aspects, Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element may include or be provided with anticipatory (also referred to as alternate or other suitable name or reference) instructions or instruction sets that User 50 did not issue or cause to be executed. Such anticipatory instructions or instruction sets include instruction sets that User 50 may want or is likely to issue or cause to be executed. Anticipatory instructions or instruction sets can be generated by ACAAO Unit 100 or elements thereof based on circumstances including objects with various properties. As such, Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element may include or be provided with some or all original instructions or instruction sets and/or any anticipatory instructions or instruction sets generated by ACAAO Unit 100. Therefore, autonomous operating of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element may include executing some or all original instructions or instruction sets and/or any anticipatory instructions or instruction sets generated by ACAAO Unit 100. In one example, ACAAO Unit 100 can overwrite or rewrite the original instructions or instruction sets with ACAAO Unit 100-generated instructions or instruction sets. In another example, ACAAO Unit 100 can insert or embed ACAAO Unit 100-generated instructions or instruction sets among the original instructions or instruction sets.

In some embodiments, autonomous Avatar 605 operating comprises determining, by ACAAO Unit 100, a next instruction or instruction set to be executed based on Avatar's 605 circumstances including objects with various properties prior to the user issuing or causing to be executed the next instruction or instruction set. In other embodiments, autonomous Avatar 605 operating comprises determining, by ACAAO Unit 100, a next instruction or instruction set to be executed based on Avatar's 605 circumstances including objects with various properties prior to the system receiving the next instruction or instruction set.

In some embodiments, autonomous Avatar 605 operating includes a partially or fully autonomous operating. In an example involving partially autonomous Avatar 605 operating, a user confirms ACAAO Unit 100-generated instructions or instruction sets prior to their execution. In an example involving fully autonomous application operating, ACAAO Unit 100-generated instructions or instruction sets are executed without user or other system confirmation (i.e. automatically, etc.).

In some embodiments, a combination of ACAAO Unit 100 and other systems and/or techniques can be utilized to implement Avatar's 605 operation. In one example, ACAAO Unit 100 may be a primary or preferred system for implementing Avatar's 605 operation. While operating autonomously under the control of ACAAO Unit 100, Avatar 605 may encounter a circumstance including objects with various properties that has not been encountered or learned before. In such situations, User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may take control of Avatar's 605 operation. ACAAO Unit 100 may take control again when Avatar 605 encounters a previously learned circumstance including objects with various properties. Naturally, ACAAO Unit 100 can learn Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances while User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system is in control of Avatar 605, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for future involvement of User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system. In another example, User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may be a primary or preferred system for implementing Avatar's 605 operation. While operating under the control of User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system, User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may release control to ACAAO Unit 100 for any reason (i.e. User 50 gets tired or distracted, non-ACAAO system gets stuck or cannot make a decision, etc.), at which point Avatar 605 can be controlled by ACAAO Unit 100. In some designs, ACAAO Unit 100 may take control in certain special circumstances including objects with various properties where ACAAO Unit 100 may offer superior performance even though User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may generally be preferred. Once Avatar 605 leaves such special circumstances, ACAAO Unit 100 may release control to User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system. In general, ACAAO Unit 100 can take control from, share control with, or release control to User 50, non-ACAAO system, and/or other system or process at any time, in any circumstances, and remain in control for any period of time as needed.

In some embodiments, ACAAO Unit 100 may control one or more elements of Avatar 605 while User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may control other one or more elements of Avatar 605. For example, ACAAO Unit 100 may control Avatar's 605 movement, while User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may control Avatar's 605 aiming and shooting. Any other combination of controlling various elements or functions of Avatar 605 by ACAAO Unit 100, User 50, and/or non-ACAAO system can be implemented.

In some embodiments, ACAAO Unit 100 enables learning of a particular User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605. In some aspects, learning of a particular User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 includes learning the User's 50 directing or operating Avatar 605 in circumstances including objects with various properties. In one example, one User 50 may shoot an opponent while another User 50 may strike the opponent with a sword in a computer game. In another example, one User 50 may jump over an obstacle while another User 50 may move around the obstacle in a virtual world application. In a further example, one User 50 may drive fast while another User 50 may drive cautiously in a racing game, and so on. The knowledge of User's 50 methodology or style of operating Avatar 605 can be used to enable personalized autonomous operation of Avatar 605 specific to a particular User 50. Therefore, ACAAO-enabled Avatar 605 may exemplify User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 as learned from User 50. In some designs, this functionality enables one or more ACAAO-enabled Avatars 605 to be utilized in Application Program 18 (i.e. computer game, virtual world, etc.) to assist User 50 in defeating an opponent or achieving another goal. For example, User 50 can utilize a team of ACAAO-enabled Avatars 605 each of which may exemplify User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605. In other designs, ACAAO Unit 100 enables a professional or other experienced Application Program 18 operator (i.e. game player, etc.) to record his/her knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.) and/or other repository. User 50 can then sell or make available his/her knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 to other users who may want to implement User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605. Knowledgebase 530 and/or other repository comprising User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 can be available to other users via a storage medium, via a network, or via other means. In some implementations, User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 can be applied to or implemented on any Object 615 of Application Program 18 as applicable, thereby enabling any Object 615 to exemplify User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating as learned from User 50. For example, a computer game developer may associate Knowledgebase 530 comprising User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Avatar 605 with an Object 615 (i.e. tank, robot, aircraft, etc.), thereby enabling the Object 615 to operate based on the knowledge in the Knowledgebase 530.

As such, Acquisition Interface 120 provides input into Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 for knowledge structuring, anticipating, decision making, and/or other functionalities later in the process. Acquisition Interface 120 also comprises other disclosed functionalities.

Acquisition Interface 120 can employ various techniques for obtaining instruction sets, data, and/or other information. In one example, Acquisition Interface 120 can attach to and/or obtain Avatar's 605, Application Program's 18, Processor's 11, and/or other processing element's instruction sets, data, and/or other information through tracing or profiling techniques. Tracing or profiling may be used for outputting Avatar's 605, Application Program's 18, Processor's 11, and/or other processing element's instruction sets, data, and/or other information at runtime. For instance, tracing or profiling may include adding trace code (i.e. instrumentation, etc.) to Avatar 605 (i.e. Avatar's 605 object code, etc.) or Application Program 18, and/or outputting trace information to a specific target.

For example, instrumentation code can be dynamically inserted into Avatar 605 (i.e. Avatar's 605 object code, etc.) or Application Program 18 at runtime.

In other embodiments, Avatar 605 or Application Program 18 can be manually instrumented. In one example, a programmer can instrument a function call by placing an instrumenting function such as traceAvatar( ), traceApplication( ), etc. immediately after the function call as in the following example.

Avatar.moveForward(12);

traceAvatar(‘Avatar.moveForward(12);’);

In another example, an instrumenting function can be placed immediately before the function call, or at the beginning, end, or anywhere within the function itself. A programmer may instrument all function calls or only function calls of interest. In a further example, a programmer can instrument all lines of code or only code lines of interest. In a further example, a programmer can instrument other elements utilized or implemented within Avatar 605 or Application Program 18 such as objects and/or any of their functions, data structures and/or any of their functions, event handlers and/or any of their functions, threads and/or any of their functions, and/or other elements or functions. Similar instrumentation as in the preceding examples can be performed automatically or dynamically. In some designs where manual code instrumentation is utilized, Acquisition Interface 120 can optionally be omitted and Avatar's 605 or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information may be transmitted directly to Artificial Intelligence Unit 110.

In some embodiments, ACAAO Unit 100 can be selective in learning instruction sets, data, and/or other information to those implemented, utilized, or related to an object, data structure, repository, thread, function, and/or other element of Application Program 18. In some aspects, Acquisition Interface 120 can obtain Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information implemented, utilized, or related to a certain object in an object oriented Application Program 18. For example, Acquisition Interface 120 can obtain Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information implemented, utilized, or related to Avatar 605.

In some embodiments, various computing systems and/or platforms may provide native tools for obtaining instruction sets, data, and/or other information. Also, independent vendors may provide portable tools with similar functionalities that can be utilized across different computing systems and/or platforms. These native and portable tools may provide a wide range of functionalities such as instrumentation, tracing or profiling, logging application or system messages, outputting custom text messages, outputting objects or data structures, outputting functions/routines/subroutines or their invocations, outputting variable or parameter values, outputting thread or process behaviors, outputting call or other stacks, outputting processor registers, providing runtime memory access, providing inputs and/or outputs, performing live application monitoring, and/or other capabilities. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that, while all possible variations of the techniques to obtain instruction sets, data, and/or other information are too voluminous to describe, these techniques are within the scope of this disclosure.

In one example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through the .NET platform's native tools for application tracing or profiling such as System.Diagnostics.Trace, System.Diagnostics.Debug, or System.Diagnostics.TraceSource classes for tracing execution flow, and/or System. Diagnostics. Process, System.Diagnostics.EventLog, or System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter classes for profiling code, accessing local and remote processes, starting and stopping system processes, and interacting with Windows event logs, etc. For instance, a set of trace switches can be created that output an application's information. The switches can be configured using the .config file. For a web application, this may typically be web.config file associated with the project. In a Windows application, this file may typically be named applicationName.exe.config. Trace code can be added to application code automatically or manually as previously described. Appropriate listener can be created where the trace output is received. Trace code can output trace messages to a specific target such as a file, a log, a database, an object, a data structure, and/or other repository or system. Acquisition Interface 120 or Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 can then read or obtain the trace information from these targets. In some aspects, trace code can output trace messages directly to Acquisition Interface 120. In other aspects, trace code can output trace messages directly to Artificial Intelligence Unit 110. In the case of outputting trace messages to Acquisition Interface 120 or directly to Artificial Intelligence Unit 110, custom listeners can be built to accommodate these specific targets. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques can provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In another example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through the .NET platform's Profiling API that can be used to create a custom profiler application for tracing, monitoring, interfacing with, and/or managing a profiled application. The Profiling API provides an interface that includes methods to notify the profiler of events in the profiled application. The Profiling API may also provide an interface to enable the profiler to call back into the profiled application to obtain information about the state of the profiled application. The Profiling API may further provide call stack profiling functionalities. Call stack (also referred to as execution stack, control stack, runtime stack, machine stack, the stack, etc.) includes a data structure that can store information about active subroutines of an application. The Profiling API may provide a stack snapshot method, which enables a trace of the stack at a particular point in time. The Profiling API may also provide a shadow stack method, which tracks the call stack at every instant. A shadow stack can obtain function arguments, return values, and information about generic instantiations. A function such as FunctionEnter can be utilized to notify the profiler that control is being passed to a function and can provide information about the stack frame and function arguments. A function such as FunctionLeave can be utilized to notify the profiler that a function is about to return to the caller and can provide information about the stack frame and function return value. An alternative to call stack profiling includes call stack sampling in which the profiler can periodically examine the stack. In some aspects, the Profiling API enables the profiler to change the in-memory code stream for a routine before it is just-in-time (JIT) compiled where the profiler can dynamically add instrumentation code to all or particular routines of interest. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through Java platform's APIs for application tracing or profiling such as Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI), Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI), and/or other APIs or tools. These APIs can be used for instrumentation of an application, for notification of Java Virtual Machine (VM) events, and/or other functionalities. One of the tracing or profiling techniques that can be utilized includes bytecode instrumentation. The profiler can insert bytecodes into all or some of the classes. In application execution profiling, for example, these bytecodes may include methodEntry and methodExit calls. In memory profiling, for example, the bytecodes may be inserted after each new or after each constructor. In some aspects, insertion of instrumentation bytecode can be performed either by a post-compiler or a custom class loader. An alternative to bytecode instrumentation includes monitoring events generated by the JVMPI or JVMTI interfaces. Both APIs can generate events for method entry/exit, object allocation, and/or other events. In some aspects, JVMTI can be utilized for dynamic bytecode instrumentation where insertion of instrumentation bytecodes is performed at runtime. The profiler may insert the necessary instrumentation when a selected class is invoked in an application. This can be accomplished using the JVMTI's redefineClasses method, for example. This approach also enables changing of the level of profiling as the application is running. If needed, these changes can be made adaptively without restarting the application. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through JVMTI's programming interface that enables creation of software agents that can monitor and control a Java application. An agent may use the functionality of the interface to register for notification of events as they occur in the application, and to query and control the application. A JVMTI agent may use JVMTI functions to extract information from a Java application. A JVMTI agent can be utilized to obtain an application's runtime information such as method calls, memory allocation, CPU utilization, and/or other information. JVMTI may include functions to obtain information about variables, fields, methods, classes, and/or other information. JVMTI may also provide notification for numerous events such as method entry and exit, exception, field access and modification, thread start and end, and/or other events. Examples of JVMTI built-in methods include GetMethodName to obtain the name of an invoked method, GetThreadInfo to obtain information for a specific thread, GetClassSignature to obtain information about the class of an object, GetStackTrace to obtain information about the stack including information about stack frames, and/or other methods. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through java.lang.Runtime class that provides an interface for application tracing or profiling. Examples of methods provided in java.lang.Runtime that can be used to obtain an application's instruction sets, data, and/or other information include tracemethodcalls, traceinstructions, and/or other methods. These methods prompt the Java Virtual Machine to output trace information for a method or instruction in the virtual machine as it is executed. The destination of trace output may be system dependent and include a file, a listener, and/or other destinations where Acquisition Interface 120, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110, and/or other disclosed elements can access needed information. In addition to tracing or profiling tools native to their respective computing systems and/or platforms, many independent tools exist that provide tracing or profiling functionalities on more than one computing system and/or platform. Examples of these tools include Pin, DynamoRIO, KernInst, DynInst, Kprobes, OpenPAT, DTrace, SystemTap, and/or others. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through logging tools of the platform and/or operating system on which an application runs. Some logging tools may include nearly full feature sets of the tracing or profiling tools previously described. In one example, Visual Basic enables logging of runtime messages through its Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging namespace that provides a log listener where the log listener may direct logging output to a file and/or other target. In another example, Java enables logging through its java.util.logging class. In some aspects, obtaining an application's instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through logging capabilities of the operating system on which an application runs. For example, Windows NT features centralized log service that applications and operating-system components can utilize to report their events including any messages. Windows NT provides functionalities for system, application, security, and/or other logging. An application log may include events logged by applications. Windows NT, for example, may include support for defining an event source (i.e. application that created the event, etc.). Windows Vista, for example, supports a structured XML log-format and designated log types to allow applications to more precisely log events and to help interpret the events. Examples of different types of event logs include administrative, operational, analytic, debug, and/or other log types including any of their subcategories. Examples of event attributes that can be utilized include eventID, level, task, opcode, keywords, and/or other event attributes. Windows wevtutil tool enables access to events, their structures, registered event publishers, and/or their configuration even before the events are fired. Wevtutil supports capabilities such as retrieval of the names of all logs on a computing device; retrieval of configuration information for a specific log; retrieval of event publishers on a computing device; reading events from an event log, from a log file, or using a structured query; exporting events from an event log, from a log file, or using a structured query to a specific target; and/or other capabilities. Operating system logs can be utilized solely if they contain sufficient information on an application's instruction sets, data, and/or other information. Alternatively, operating system logs can be utilized in combination with another source of information (i.e. trace information, call stack, processor registers, memory, etc.) to reconstruct the application's instruction sets, data, and/or other information needed for Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 and/or other elements. In addition to logging capabilities native to their respective platforms and/or operating systems, many independent tools exist that provide logging on different platforms and/or operating systems. Examples of these tools include Log4j, Logback, SmartInspect, NLog, log4net, Microsoft Enterprise Library, ObjectGuy Framework, and/or others. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through tracing or profiling the operating system on which an application runs. As in tracing or profiling an application, one of the techniques that can be utilized includes adding instrumentation code to the operating system's source code. Such instrumentation code can be added to the operating system's source code before kernel compilation or recompilation, for instance. This type of instrumentation may involve defining or finding locations in the operating system's source code where instrumentation code may be inserted. Kernel instrumentation can also be performed without the need for kernel recompilation or rebooting. In some aspects, instrumentation code can be added at locations of interest through binary rewriting of compiled kernel code. In other aspects, kernel instrumentation can be performed dynamically where instrumentation code is added and/or removed where needed at runtime. For instance, dynamic instrumentation may overwrite kernel code with a branch instruction that redirects execution to instrumentation code or instrumentation routine. In yet other aspects, kernel instrumentation can be performed using just-in-time (JIT) dynamic instrumentation where execution may be redirected to a copy of kernel's code segment that includes instrumentation code. This type of instrumentation may include a JIT compiler and creation of a copy of the original code segment having instrumentation code or calls to instrumentation routines embedded into the original code segment. Instrumentation of the operating system may enable total system visibility including visibility into an application's behavior by enabling generation of low level trace information. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through tracing or profiling the processor on which an application runs. For example, some Intel processors provide Intel Processor Trace (i.e. Intel PT, etc.), a low-level tracing feature that enables recording executed instruction sets, and/or other data or information of one or more applications. Intel PT is facilitated by the Processor Trace Decoder Library along with its related tools. Intel PT is a low-overhead execution tracing feature that records information about application execution on each hardware thread using dedicated hardware facilities. The recorded execution/trace information is collected in data packets that can be buffered internally before being sent to a memory subsystem or another system or element (i.e. Acquisition Interface 120, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110, etc.). Intel PT also enables navigating the recorded execution/trace information via reverse stepping commands. Intel PT can be included in an operating system's core files and provided as a feature of the operating system. Intel PT can trace globally some or all applications running on an operating system. Acquisition Interface 120 or Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 can read or obtain the recorded execution/trace information from Intel PT. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through branch tracing or profiling. Branch tracing may include an abbreviated instruction trace in which only the successful branch instruction sets are traced or recorded. Branch tracing can be implemented through utilizing dedicated processor commands, for example. Executed branches may be saved into special branch trace store area of memory. With the availability and reference to a compiler listing of the application together with branch trace information, a full path of executed instruction sets can be reconstructed. The full path can also be reconstructed with a memory dump (containing the program storage) and branch trace information. In some aspects, branch tracing can be utilized for pre-learning or automated learning of an application's instruction sets, data, and/or other information where a number of application simulations (i.e. simulations of likely/common operations, etc.) are performed. As such, the application's operation can be learned automatically saving the time that would be needed to learn the application's operation directed by a user. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information can be implemented through assembly language. Assembly language is a low-level programming language for a computer or other programmable device in which there is a strong correlation between the language and the architecture's machine instruction sets. Syntax, addressing modes, operands, and/or other elements of an assembly language instruction set may translate directly into numeric (i.e. binary, etc.) representations of that particular instruction set. Because of this direct relationship with the architecture's machine instruction sets, assembly language can be a powerful tool for tracing or profiling an application's execution in processor registers, memory, and/or other computing system components. For example, using assembly language, memory locations of a loaded application can be accessed, instrumented, and/or otherwise manipulated. In some aspects, assembly language can be used to rewrite or overwrite original in-memory instruction sets of an application with instrumentation instruction sets. In other aspects, assembly language can be used to redirect application's execution to instrumentation routine/subroutine or other code segment elsewhere in memory by inserting a jump into the application's in-memory code, by redirecting program counter, or by other techniques. Some operating systems may implement protection from changes to applications loaded into memory. Operating system, processor, or other low level commands such as Linux mprotect command or similar commands in other operating systems may be used to unprotect the protected locations in memory before the change. In yet other aspects, assembly language can be used to obtain instruction sets, data, and/or other information through accessing and/or reading instruction register, program counter, other processor registers, memory locations, and/or other components of a computing system. In yet other aspects, high-level programming languages may call or execute an external assembly language program to facilitate obtaining instruction sets, data, and/or other information as previously described. In yet other aspects, relatively low-level programming languages such as C may allow embedding assembly language directly in their source code such as, for example, using asm keyword of C. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, it may be sufficient to obtain user or other inputs, variables, parameters, and/or other data in some procedural, simple object oriented, or other applications. In one instance, a simple procedural application executes a sequence of instruction sets until the end of the program. During its execution, the application may receive user or other input, store the input in a variable, and perform calculations using the variable to reach a result. The value of the variable can be obtained or traced. In another instance, a more complex procedural application comprises one or more functions/routines/subroutines each of which may include a sequence of instruction sets. The application may execute a main sequence of instruction sets with a branch to a function/routine/subroutine. During its execution, the application may receive user or other input, store the input in a variable, and pass the variable as a parameter to the function/routine/subroutine. The function/routine/subroutine may perform calculations using the parameter and return a value that the rest of the application can use to reach a result. The value of the variable or parameter passed to the function/routine/subroutine, and/or return value can be obtained or traced. Values of user or other inputs, variables, parameters, and/or other items of interest can be obtained through previously described tracing, instrumentation, and/or other techniques. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

Referring to FIG. 6, in yet another example, obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information may be implemented through tracing, profiling, or sampling of instruction sets or data in processor registers, memory, or other computing system components where instruction sets, data, and/or other information may be stored or utilized. For example, Instruction Register 212 may be part of Processor 11 and it may store the instruction set currently being executed or decoded. In some processors, Program Counter 211 (also referred to as instruction pointer, instruction address register, instruction counter, or part of instruction sequencer, etc.) may be incremented after fetching an instruction set, and it may hold or point to the memory address of the next instruction set to be executed. In a processor where the incrementation precedes the fetch, Program Counter 211 may point to the current instruction set being executed. In the instruction cycle, an instruction set may be loaded into Instruction Register 212 after Processor 11 fetches it from location in Memory 12 pointed to by Program Counter 211. Instruction Register 212 may hold the instruction set while it is decoded by Instruction Decoder 213, prepared, and executed. In some aspects, data (i.e. operands, etc.) needed for instruction set execution may be loaded from Memory 12 into a register within Register Array 214. In other aspects, the data may be loaded directly into Arithmetic Logic Unit 215. For instance, as instruction sets pass through Instruction Register 212 during application execution, they may be transmitted to Acquisition Interface 120 as shown. Examples of the steps in execution of a machine instruction set may include decoding the opcode (i.e. portion of a machine instruction set that may specify the operation to be performed), determining where the operands may be located (depending on architecture, operands may be in registers, the stack, memory, I/O ports, etc.), retrieving the operands, allocating processor resources to execute the instruction set (needed in some types of processors), performing the operation indicated by the instruction set, saving the results of execution, and/or other execution steps. Examples of the types of machine instruction sets that can be utilized include arithmetic, data handling, logical, program control, as well as special and/or other instruction set types. In addition to the ones described or shown, examples of other computing system or processor components that can be used during an instruction cycle include memory address register (MAR) that may hold the address of a memory block to be read from or written to; memory data register (MDR) that may hold data fetched from memory or data waiting to be stored in memory; data registers that may hold numeric values, characters, small bit arrays, or other data; address registers that may hold addresses used by instruction sets that indirectly access memory; general purpose registers (GPRs) that may store both data and addresses; conditional registers that may hold truth values often used to determine whether some instruction set should or should not be executed; floating point registers (FPRs) that may store floating point numbers; constant registers that may hold read-only values such as zero, one, or pi; special purpose registers (SPRs) such as status register, program counter, or stack pointer that may hold information on program state; machine-specific registers that may store data and settings related to a particular processor; Register Array 214 that may include an array of any number of processor registers; Arithmetic Logic Unit 215 that may perform arithmetic and logic operations; control unit that may direct processor's operation; and/or other circuits or components. Tracing, profiling, or sampling of processor registers, memory, or other computing system components can be implemented in a program, combination of hardware and program, or purely hardware system. Dedicated hardware may be built to perform tracing, profiling, or sampling of processor registers or any computing system components with marginal or no impact to computing overhead.

One of ordinary skill in art will recognize that FIG. 6 depicts one of many implementations of processor or computing system components, and that various additional components can be included, or some of the disclosed ones can be excluded, or a combination thereof can be utilized in alternate implementations. Processor or computing system components may be arranged or connected differently in alternate implementations. Processor or computing system components may also be connected with external elements using various connections. For instance, the connection between Instruction Register 212 and Acquisition Interface 120 may include any number or types of connections such as, for example, a dedicated connection for each bit of Instruction Register 212 (i.e. 32 connections for a 32 bit Instruction Register 212, etc.). Any of the described or other connections or interfaces may be implemented among any processor or computing system components and Acquisition Interface 120 or other elements.

Other additional techniques or elements can be utilized as needed for obtaining instruction sets, data, and/or other information, or some of the disclosed techniques or elements can be excluded, or a combination thereof can be utilized in alternate embodiments. As an avatar (i.e. Avatar 605, etc.) may be part of an application (i.e. Application Program 18, etc.), it should be noted that obtaining an avatar's instruction sets, data, and/or other information may include same or similar techniques as the aforementioned obtaining an application's instruction sets, data, and/or other information, and vice versa.

In an embodiment shown in FIG. 8B, Instruction Set 526 may include or be associated with Extra Info 527.

Extra Info 527 comprises the functionality for storing any information useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation, and/or other functionalities. One or more Extra Infos 527 can be stored in, appended to, or associated with a Collection of Object Representations 525, Instruction Set 526, and/or other element. In some embodiments, the system can obtain Extra Info 527 at a time of creating or generating Collection of Object Representations 525. In other embodiments, the system can obtain Extra Info 527 at a time of acquiring Instruction Set 526. In general, Extra Info 527 can be obtained at any time. Examples of Extra Info 527 include time information, location information, computed information, visual information, acoustic information, contextual information, and/or other information. Any information can be utilized that can provide information for enhanced comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Which information is utilized and/or stored in Extra Info 527 can be set by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system. Extra Info 527 may include or be referred to as contextual information, and vice versa. Therefore, these terms may be used interchangeably herein depending on context.

In some aspects, time information (i.e. time stamp, etc.) can be utilized and/or stored in Extra Info 527. Time information can be useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation related to a specific time period. For example, Extra Info 527 may include time information related to when Avatar 605 performed an operation. Time information can be obtained from the system clock, online clock, oscillator, or other time source. In other aspects, location information (i.e. coordinates, etc.) can be utilized and/or stored in Extra Info 527. Location information can be useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation related to a specific place. For example, Extra Info 527 may include location information related to where Avatar 605 performed an operation. Location information can be obtained from Application Program's 18 engine (i.e. game engine in which the game is implemented, etc.), runtime environment, functions for providing location information on objects, and/or others as previously described. In further aspects, computed information can be utilized and/or stored in Extra Info 527. Computed information can be useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation where information can be calculated, inferred, or estimated from other available information. ACAAO Unit 100 may include computational functionalities to create Extra Info 527 by performing calculations, inferences, or estimations using other information. In one example, Avatar's 605 direction of movement can be computed or estimated using Avatar's 605 location information. In another example, Avatar's 605 speed can be computed or estimated using Avatar's 605 location and/or time information. In a further example, speeds, directions of movement, trajectories, distances, and/or other properties of objects around Avatar 605 can similarly be computed or estimated, thereby providing geo-spatial and situational awareness and/or capabilities to Avatar 605. ACAAO Unit 100 can utilize geometry, trigonometry, Pythagorean theorem, and/or other theorems, formulas, or disciplines in its calculations, inferences, or estimations. In further aspects, visual information can be utilized and/or stored in Extra Info 527. Visual information can be useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation related to an object or environment that can be recognized from visual information.

Any features, functionalities, and embodiments of Picture Recognizer 92 can be utilized for such recognizing as previously described. For instance, trees recognized in the background of one or more digital pictures from Picture Renderer 91 may indicate a park or forest. In further aspects, acoustic information can be utilized and/or stored in Extra Info 527. Acoustic information can be useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous Avatar 605 operation related to a sound or accosting environment.

Any number of Computing Devices 70, Processors 11, Application Programs 18, and/or other elements may connect to such remote ACAAO Unit 100 and the remote ACAAO Unit 100 may learn operations of their Avatars 605 in circumstances including objects with various properties. In turn, any number of Computing Devices 70, Processors 11, Application Programs 18, and/or other elements can utilize the remote ACAAO Unit 100 for autonomous operation of their Avatars 605. A remote ACAAO Unit 100 can be offered as a network service (i.e. online application, etc.). In some aspects, a remote ACAAO Unit 100 (i.e. global ACAAO Unit 100, etc.) may reside on the Internet and be available to all the world's Computing Devices 70, Processors 11, Application Programs 18, and/or other elements configured to transmit operations of their Avatars 605 in circumstances including objects with various properties and/or configured to utilize the remote ACAAO Unit 100 for autonomous operation of their Avatars 605. For example, multiple players (i.e. Users 50, etc.) may operate their Avatars 605 in a computer game (i.e. Application Program 18, etc.) running on their respective Computing Devices 70 where the Computing Devices 70 and/or elements thereof may be configured to transmit Avatar's 605 operations in circumstances including objects with various properties to a remote ACAAO Unit 100. Such remote ACAAO Unit 100 enables learning of the players' collective knowledge of operating Avatar 605 in circumstances including objects with various properties. Server 96 may be or include any type or form of a remote computing device such as an application server, a network service server, a cloud server, a cloud, and/or other remote computing device. Server 96 may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of Computing Device 70. It should be understood that Server 96 does not have to be a separate computing device and that Server 96, its elements, or its functionalities can be implemented on Computing Device 70. Network 95 may include various networks, connection types, protocols, interfaces, APIs, and/or other elements or techniques known in art all of which are within the scope of this disclosure. Any of the previously described networks, network or connection types, networking interfaces, and/or other networking elements or techniques can similarly be utilized. Any of the disclosed elements can reside on Server 96 in alternate implementations. In one example, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 can reside on Server 96 and Acquisition Interface 120, Modification Interface 130, and/or Object Processing Unit 140 can reside on Computing Device 70. In another example, Knowledgebase 530 (later described) can reside on Server 96 and the rest of the elements of ACAAO Unit 100 can reside on Computing Device 70. Any other combination of local and remote elements can be implemented.

Referring to FIG. 11, an embodiment of Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 is illustrated. Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises interconnected Knowledge Structuring Unit 520, Knowledgebase 530, Decision-making Unit 540, and Confirmation Unit 550. Other additional elements can be included as needed, or some of the disclosed ones can be excluded, or a combination thereof can be utilized in alternate embodiments.

Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for learning Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for learning one or more collections of object representations correlated with any instruction sets, data, and/or other information. In some aspects, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for learning one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Avatar's 605 surrounding correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. The Instruction Sets 526 may be used or executed in operating Avatar 605. In other aspects, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for learning one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Avatar's 605 surrounding some of which may not be correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. Further, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for anticipating Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for anticipating one or more instruction sets, data, and/or other information. Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for anticipating one or more Instruction Sets 526 (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) based on one or more incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Avatar's 605 surrounding. The one or more Instruction Sets 526 (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) may be used or executed in Avatar's 605 autonomous operation. In some embodiments of Application Programs 18 that do not comprise Avatar 605 or rely on Avatar 605 for their operation, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for learning Application Program's 18 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties similar to the learning functionalities described with respect to Avatar 605. Also, in such embodiments, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 comprises the functionality for anticipating Application Program's 18 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties similar to the anticipating functionalities described with respect to Avatar 605. Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 also comprises other disclosed functionalities.

Knowledge Structuring Unit 520, Knowledgebase 530, and Decision-making Unit 540 are described later.

Confirmation Unit 550 comprises the functionality for confirming, modifying, evaluating (i.e. rating, etc.), and/or canceling one or more anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, and/or other functionalities. Confirmation Unit 550 is an optional element that can be omitted depending on implementation. In some embodiments, Confirmation Unit 550 can serve as a means of confirming anticipatory Instruction Sets 526. For example, Decision-making Unit 540 may determine one or more anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 and provide them to User 50 for confirmation. User 50 may be provided with an interface (i.e. graphical user interface, selectable list of anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) to approve or confirm execution of the anticipatory Instruction Sets 526. In some aspects, Confirmation Unit 550 can automate User 50 confirmation. In one example, if one or more incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140 and one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from a Knowledge Cell 800 were found to be a perfect or highly similar match, anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from the Knowledge Cell 800 can be automatically executed without User's 50 confirmation. Conversely, if one or more incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140 and one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from a Knowledge Cell 800 were found to be less than a highly similar match, anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from the Knowledge Cell 800 can be presented to User 50 for confirmation and/or modifying. Any features, functionalities, and/or embodiments of Similarity Comparison 125 (later described) can be utilized for such similarity determination. In other embodiments, Confirmation Unit 550 can serve as a means of modifying or editing anticipatory Instruction Sets 526. For example, Decision-making Unit 540 may determine one or more anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 and provide them to User 50 for modification. User 50 may be provided with an interface (i.e. graphical user interface, etc.) to modify the anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 before their execution. In further embodiments, Confirmation Unit 550 can serve as a means of evaluating or rating anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 if they matched User's 50 intended operation. For example, Decision-making Unit 540 may determine one or more anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, which the system may automatically execute. User 50 may be provided with an interface (i.e. graphical user interface, etc.) to rate (i.e. on a scale from 0 to 1, etc.) how well Decision-making Unit 540 predicted the executed anticipatory Instruction Sets 526. In some aspects, rating can be automatic and based on a particular function or method that rates how well the anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 matched the desired operation. In one example, a rating function or method can assign a higher rating to anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 that were least modified in the confirmation process. In another example, a rating function or method can assign a higher rating to anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 that were canceled least number of times by User 50. Any other automatic rating function or method can be utilized. In yet other embodiments, Confirmation Unit 550 can serve as a means of canceling anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 if they did not match User's 50 intended operation. For example, Decision-making Unit 540 may determine one or more anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, which the system may automatically execute. The system may save the state of Computing Device 70, Processor 11 (save its register values, etc.), Application Program 18 (i.e. save its variables, data structures, objects, location of its current instruction, etc.), Avatar 605, and/or other processing elements before executing anticipatory Instruction Sets 526. User 50 may be provided with an interface (i.e. graphical user interface, selectable list of prior executed anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) to cancel one or more of the prior executed anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, and restore Computing Device 70, Processor 11, Application Program 18, Avatar 605, and/or other processing elements to a prior state. In some aspects, Confirmation Unit 550 can optionally be disabled or omitted in order to provide an uninterrupted operation of Avatar 605, Processor 11, and/or Application Program 18. For example, a form based application may be suitable for implementing the user confirmation step, whereas, a game application may be less suitable for implementing such interrupting step due to the real time nature of game application's operation.

Referring to FIG. 12, an embodiment of Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 correlating individual Collections of Object Representations 525 with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 is illustrated. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 comprises the functionality for structuring the knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties, and/or other functionalities. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 comprises the functionality for correlating one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Avatar's 605 surrounding with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. The Instruction Sets 526 may be used or executed in operating Avatar 605. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 comprises the functionality for creating or generating Knowledge Cell 800 and storing one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 into the Knowledge Cell 800. As such, Knowledge Cell 800 comprises the functionality for storing one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. Knowledge Cell 800 includes knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of how Avatar 605 operated in a circumstance including objects with various properties. Once created or generated, Knowledge Cells 800 can be used in/as neurons, nodes, vertices, or other elements in any of the data structures or arrangements (i.e. neural networks, graphs, sequences, etc.) used for storing the knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties, thereby facilitating learning functionalities herein. It should be noted that Extra Info 527 may be optionally used in some implementations to enable enhanced comparisons or decision making in autonomous Avatar 605 operation where applicable, and that Extra Info 527 can be omitted in alternate implementations.

In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 receives one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may also receive one or more Instruction Sets 526 from Acquisition Interface 120. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further receive any Extra Info 527. Although, Extra Info 527 is not shown in this and/or other figures for clarity of illustration, it should be noted that any Collection of Object Representations 525, Instruction Set 526, and/or other element may include or be associated with Extra Info 527. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may correlate one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may then create Knowledge Cell 800 and store the one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 into the Knowledge Cell 800. Knowledge Cell 800 may include any data structure or arrangement that can facilitate such storing. For example, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may create Knowledge Cell 800 ax and structure within it Collection of Object Representations 525 a 1 correlated with Instruction Sets 526 a 1-526 a 3 and/or any Extra Info 527 (not shown). Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a Collection of Object Representations 525 a 2 correlated with Instruction Set 526 a 4 and/or any Extra Info 527 (not shown). Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3 without a correlated Instruction Set 526 and/or Extra Info 527. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a Collection of Object Representations 525 a 4 correlated with Instruction Sets 526 a 5-526 a 6 and/or any Extra Info 527 (not shown). Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a Collection of Object Representations 525 a 5 without a correlated Instruction Set 526 and/or Extra Info 527. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax additional Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any number (including zero [i.e. uncorrelated]) of Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 by following similar logic as described above.

In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may correlate a Collection of Object Representations 525 with one or more temporally corresponding Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. This way, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can structure the knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation at or around the time of generating Collections of Object Representations 525. Such functionality enables spontaneous or seamless learning of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties as Avatar 605 is operated in real time. In some designs, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may receive a stream of Instruction Sets 526 used or executed to effect Avatar's 605 operations as well as a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Avatar's 605 surrounding as the operations are performed. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can then correlate Collections of Object Representations 525 from the stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 with temporally corresponding Instruction Sets 526 from the stream of Instruction Sets 526 and/or any Extra Info 527. Collections of Object Representations 525 without a temporally corresponding Instruction Set 526 may be uncorrelated, for instance. In some aspects, Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 that temporally correspond to a Collection of Object Representations 525 may include Instruction Sets 526 used and/or Extra Info 527 obtained at the time of generating the Collection of Object Representations 525. In other aspects, Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 that temporally correspond to a Collection of Object Representations 525 may include Instruction Sets 526 used and/or Extra Info 527 obtained within a certain time period before and/or after generating the Collection of Object Representations 525. For example, Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 that temporally correspond to a Collection of Object Representations 525 may include Instruction Sets 526 used and/or Extra Info 527 obtained within 50 milliseconds, 1 second, 3 seconds, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 41 minutes, 2 hours, or any other time period before and/or after generating the Collection of Object Representations 525. Such time periods can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In other aspects, Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 that temporally correspond to a Collection of Object Representations 525 may include Instruction Sets 526 used and/or Extra Info 527 obtained from the time of generating the Collection of Object Representations 525 to the time of generating a next Collection of Object Representations 525. In further aspects, Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 that temporally correspond to a Collection of Object Representations 525 may include Instruction Sets 526 used and/or Extra Info 527 obtained from the time of generating a previous Collection of Object Representations 525 to the time of generating the Collection of Object Representations 525. Any other temporal relationship or correspondence between Collections of Object Representations 525 and correlated Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 can be implemented.

In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can structure the knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in a circumstance including objects with various properties into any number of Knowledge Cells 800. In some aspects, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can structure into a Knowledge Cell 800 a single Collection of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. In other aspects, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can structure into a Knowledge Cell 800 any number (i.e. 2, 3, 6, 9, 21, 98, 3210, 13592, 513299, 9147224, etc.) of Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. In a special case, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can structure all Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 into a single long Knowledge Cell 800. In further aspects, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can structure Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 into a plurality of Knowledge Cells 800. In a special case, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 can store periodic streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 into a plurality of Knowledge Cells 800 such as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or other periodic Knowledge Cells 800.

Referring to FIG. 13, another embodiment of Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 correlating individual Collections of Object Representations 525 with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 is illustrated. In such embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may generate Knowledge Cells 800 each comprising a single Collection of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527.

Referring to FIG. 14, an embodiment of Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 correlating streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 is illustrated. For example, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may create Knowledge Cell 800 ax and structure within it a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 a 1-525 an correlated with Instruction Set 526 a 1 and/or any Extra Info 527 (not shown). Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 b 1-525 bn correlated with Instruction Sets 526 a 2-526 a 4 and/or any Extra Info 527 (not shown). Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 c 1-525 cn without correlated Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 d 1-525 dn correlated with Instruction Sets 526 a 5-526 a 6 and/or any Extra Info 527 (not shown). Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may further structure within Knowledge Cell 800 ax additional streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any number (including zero [i.e. uncorrelated]) of Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 by following similar logic as described above. The number of Collections of Object Representations 525 in some or all streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 a 1-525 an, 525 b 1-525 bn, 525 c 1-525 cn, 525 d 1-525 dn, etc. may be equal or different. It should be noted that n or other such letters or indicia may follow the sequence and/or context where they are indicated. Also, a same letter or indicia such as n may represent a different number in different sequences or elements of a drawing.

Referring to FIG. 15, another embodiment of Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 correlating streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 is illustrated. In such embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 may generate Knowledge Cells 800 each comprising a single stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527.

Knowledgebase 530 comprises the functionality for storing knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties, and/or other functionalities. Knowledgebase 530 comprises the functionality for storing one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Avatar's 605 surrounding correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. The Instruction Sets 526 may be used or executed in operating Avatar 605. Knowledgebase 530 comprises the functionality for storing one or more Knowledge Cells 800 each including one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527. In some aspects, Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 can be stored directly within Knowledgebase 530 without using Knowledge Cells 800 as the intermediary data structures. In some embodiments, Knowledgebase 530 may be or include Neural Network 530 a (later described). In other embodiments, Knowledgebase 530 may be or include Graph 530 b (later described). In further embodiments, Knowledgebase 530 may be or include Collection of Sequences 530 c (later described). In further embodiments, Knowledgebase 530 may be or include Sequence 533 (later described). In further embodiments, Knowledgebase 530 may be or include Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d (later described). In general, Knowledgebase 530 may be or include any data structure or arrangement capable of storing knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. Knowledgebase 530 may reside locally on Computing Device 70, or remotely (i.e. remote Knowledgebase 530, etc.) on a remote computing device (i.e. server, cloud, etc.) accessible over a network or an interface.

In some embodiments, Knowledgebase 530 from one Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100 can be transferred to one or more other Computing Devices 70 or ACAAO Units 100. Therefore, the knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties learned and/or stored on one Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100 can be transferred to one or more other Computing Devices 70 or ACAAO Units 100. In one example, Knowledgebase 530 can be copied or downloaded to a file or other repository from one Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100 and loaded or inserted into another Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100. In another example, Knowledgebase 530 from one Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100 can be available on a server accessible by other Computing Devices 70 or ACAAO Units 100 over a network or an interface. Once loaded into or accessed by a receiving Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100, the receiving Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100 can then implement the knowledge of Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties learned or stored on the originating Computing Device 70 or ACAAO Unit 100.

In some embodiments, multiple Knowledgebases 530 (i.e. Knowledgebases 530 from different Computing Devices 70 or ACAAO Units 100, etc.) can be combined to accumulate collective knowledge of operating Avatar 605 in circumstances including objects with various properties. In one example, one Knowledgebase 530 can be appended to another Knowledgebase 530 such as appending one Collection of Sequences 530 c (later described) to another Collection of Sequences 530 c, appending one Sequence 533 (later described) to another Sequence 533, appending one Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d (later described) to another Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, and/or appending other data structures or elements thereof. In another example, one Knowledgebase 530 can be copied into another Knowledgebase 530 such as copying one Collection of Sequences 530 c into another Collection of Sequences 530 c, copying one Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d into another Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, and/or copying other data structures or elements thereof. In a further example, in the case of Knowledgebase 530 being or including Graph 530 b or graph-like data structure (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, tree, etc.), a union can be utilized to combine two or more Graphs 530 b or graph-like data structures. For instance, a union of two Graphs 530 b or graph-like data structures may include a union of their vertex (i.e. node, etc.) sets and their edge (i.e. connection, etc.) sets. Any other operations or combination thereof on graphs or graph-like data structures can be utilized to combine Graphs 530 b or graph-like data structures. In a further example, one Knowledgebase 530 can be combined with another Knowledgebase 530 through later described learning processes where Knowledge Cells 800 may be applied one at a time and connected with prior and/or subsequent Knowledge Cells 800 such as in Graph 530 b or Neural Network 530 a. In such embodiments, instead of Knowledge Cells 800 generated by Knowledge Structuring Unit 520, the learning process may utilize Knowledge Cells 800 from one Knowledgebase 530 to apply them onto another Knowledgebase 530. Any other techniques known in art including custom techniques for combining data structures can be utilized for combining Knowledgebases 530 in alternate implementations. In any of the aforementioned and/or other combining techniques, similarity of elements (i.e. nodes/vertices, edges/connections, etc.) can be utilized in determining whether an element from one Knowledgebase 530 matches an element from another Knowledgebase 530, and substantially or otherwise similar elements may be considered a match for combining purposes in some designs. Any features, functionalities, and embodiments of Similarity Comparison 125 (later described) can be used in such similarity determinations. A combined Knowledgebase 530 can be offered as a network service (i.e. online application, etc.), downloadable file, or other repository to all ACAAO Units 100 configured to utilize the combined Knowledgebase 530. For example, a computer game (i.e. Application Program 18, etc.) including or interfaced with ACAAO Unit 100 having access to a combined Knowledgebase 530 can use a collective knowledge for Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties learned from multiple players (i.e. Users 50, etc.) for Avatar's 605 autonomous operation.

Referring to FIG. 16, the disclosed artificially intelligent devices, systems, and methods for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation may include various artificial intelligence models and/or techniques. The disclosed devices, systems, and methods are independent of the artificial intelligence model and/or technique used and any model and/or technique can be utilized to facilitate the functionalities described herein. Examples of these models and/or techniques include deep learning, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, neural networks (i.e. convolutional neural network, recurrent neural network, deep neural network, etc.), search-based, logic and/or fuzzy logic-based, optimization-based, tree/graph/other data structure-based, hierarchical, symbolic and/or sub-symbolic, evolutionary, genetic, multi-agent, deterministic, probabilistic, statistical, and/or other models and/or techniques.

In one example shown in Model A, the disclosed artificially intelligent devices, systems, and methods for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation may include a neural network (also referred to as artificial neural network, etc.). As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities may include a network of Nodes 852 (also referred to as neurons, etc.) and Connections 853 similar to that of a brain. Node 852 can store any data, object, data structure, and/or other item, or reference thereto. Node 852 may also include a function for transforming or manipulating any data, object, data structure, and/or other item. Examples of such transformation functions include mathematical functions (i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, sin, cos, log, derivative, integral, etc.), object manipulation functions (i.e. creating an object, modifying an object, deleting an object, appending objects, etc.), data structure manipulation functions (i.e. creating a data structure, modifying a data structure, deleting a data structure, creating a data field, modifying a data field, deleting a data field, etc.), and/or other transformation functions. Connection 853 may include or be associated with a value such as a symbolic label or numeric attribute (i.e. weight, cost, capacity, length, etc.). A computational model can be utilized to compute values from inputs based on a pre-programmed or learned function or method. For example, a neural network may include one or more input neurons that can be activated by inputs. Activations of these neurons can then be passed on, weighted, and transformed by a function to other neurons. Neural networks may range from those with only one layer of single direction logic to multi-layer of multi-directional feedback loops. A neural network can use weights to change the parameters of the network's throughput. A neural network can learn by input from its environment or from self-teaching using written-in rules. A neural network can be utilized as a predictive modeling approach in machine learning. An exemplary embodiment of a neural network (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, etc.) is described later.

In another example shown in Model B, the disclosed artificially intelligent devices, systems, and methods for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation may include a graph or graph-like data structure. As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities may include Nodes 852 (also referred to as vertices or points, etc.) and Connections 853 (also referred to as edges, arrows, lines, arcs, etc.) organized as a graph. In general, any Node 852 in a graph can be connected to any other Node 852. A Connection 853 may include unordered pair of Nodes 852 in an undirected graph or ordered pair of Nodes 852 in a directed graph. Nodes 852 can be part of the graph structure or external entities represented by indices or references. A graph can be utilized as a predictive modeling approach in machine learning. Nodes 852, Connections 853, and/or other elements or operations of a graph may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of the aforementioned Nodes 852, Connections 853, and/or other elements or operations of a neural network, and vice versa. An exemplary embodiment of a graph (i.e. Graph 530 b, etc.) is described later.

In a further example shown in Model C, the disclosed artificially intelligent devices, systems, and methods for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation may include a tree or tree-like data structure. As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities may include Nodes 852 and Connections 853 (also referred to as references, edges, etc.) organized as a tree. In general, a Node 852 in a tree can be connected to any number (i.e. including zero, etc.) of children Nodes 852. A tree can be utilized as a predictive modeling approach in machine learning. Nodes 852, Connections 853, and/or other elements or operations of a tree may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of the aforementioned Nodes 852, Connections 853, and/or other elements or operations of a neural network and/or graph, and vice versa.

In a further example shown in Model D, the disclosed artificially intelligent devices, systems, and methods for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation may include a sequence or sequence-like data structure. As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities may include a structure of Nodes 852 and/or Connections 853 organized as a sequence. In some aspects, Connections 853 may be optionally omitted from a sequence as the sequential order of Nodes 852 in a sequence may be implied in the structure. A sequence can be utilized as a predictive modeling approach in machine learning. Nodes 852, Connections 853, and/or other elements or operations of a sequence may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of the aforementioned Nodes 852, Connections 853, and/or other elements or operations of a neural network, graph, and/or tree, and vice versa. An exemplary embodiment of a sequence (i.e. Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, etc.) is described later.

In yet another example, the disclosed artificially intelligent devices, systems, and methods for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation may include a search-based model and/or technique. As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities may include searching through a collection of possible solutions. For example, a search method can search through a neural network, graph, tree, sequence, or other data structure that includes data elements of interest. A search may use heuristics to limit the search for solutions by eliminating choices that are unlikely to lead to the goal. Heuristic techniques may provide a best guess solution. A search can also include optimization. For example, a search may begin with a guess and then refine the guess incrementally until no more refinements can be made. In a further example, the disclosed systems, devices, and methods may include logic-based model and/or technique. As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities can use formal or other type of logic. Logic based models may involve making inferences or deriving conclusions from a set of premises. As such, a logic based system can extend existing knowledge or create new knowledge automatically using inferences. Examples of the types of logic that can be utilized include propositional or sentential logic that comprises logic of statements which can be true or false; first-order logic that allows the use of quantifiers and predicates and that can express facts about objects, their properties, and their relations with each other; fuzzy logic that allows degrees of truth to be represented as a value between 0 and 1 rather than simply 0 (false) or 1 (true), which can be used for uncertain reasoning; subjective logic that comprises a type of probabilistic logic that may take uncertainty and belief into account, which can be suitable for modeling and analyzing situations involving uncertainty, incomplete knowledge, and different world views; and/or other types of logic. In a further example, the disclosed systems, devices, and methods may include a probabilistic model and/or technique. As such, machine learning, knowledge structuring or representation, decision making, pattern recognition, and/or other artificial intelligence functionalities can be implemented to operate with incomplete or uncertain information where probabilities may affect outcomes. Bayesian network, among other models, is an example of a probabilistic tool used for purposes such as reasoning, learning, planning, perception, and/or others. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the aforementioned artificial intelligence models and/or techniques are described merely as examples of a variety of possible implementations, and that while all possible artificial intelligence models and/or techniques are too voluminous to describe, other artificial intelligence models and/or techniques known in art are within the scope of this disclosure. One of ordinary skill in art will also recognize that an intelligent system may solve a specific problem by using any model and/or technique that works such as, for example, some systems can be symbolic and logical, some can be sub-symbolic neural networks, some can be deterministic or probabilistic, some can be hierarchical, some may include searching techniques, some may include optimization techniques, while others may use other or a combination of models and/or techniques. In general, any artificial intelligence model and/or technique can be utilized that can facilitate the functionalities described herein.

Referring to FIGS. 17A-17C, embodiments of interconnected Knowledge Cells 800 and updating weights of Connections 853 are illustrated. As shown for example in FIG. 17A, Knowledge Cell 800 za is connected to Knowledge Cell 800 zb and Knowledge Cell 800 zc by Connection 853 z 1 and Connection 853 z 2, respectively. Each of Connection 853 z 1 and Connection 853 z 2 may include or be associated with occurrence count, weight, and/or other parameters or data. The number of occurrences may track or store the number of observations that a Knowledge Cell 800 was followed by another Knowledge Cell 800 indicating a connection or relationship between them. For example, Knowledge Cell 800 za was followed by Knowledge Cell 800 zb 10 times as indicated by the number of occurrences of Connection 853 z 1. Also, Knowledge Cell 800 za was followed by Knowledge Cell 800 zc 15 times as indicated by the number of occurrences of Connection 853 z 2. The weight of Connection 853 z 1 can be calculated or determined as the number of occurrences of Connection 853 z 1 divided by the sum of occurrences of all connections (i.e. Connection 853 z 1 and Connection 853 z 2, etc.) originating from Knowledge Cell 800 za. Therefore, the weight of Connection 853 z 1 can be calculated or determined as 10/(10+15)=0.4, for example. Also, the weight of Connection 853 z 2 can be calculated or determined as 15/(10+15)=0.6, for example. Therefore, the sum of weights of Connection 853 z 1, Connection 853 z 2, and/or any other Connections 853 originating from Knowledge Cell 800 za may equal to 1 or 100%. As shown for example in FIG. 17B, in the case that Knowledge Cell 800 zd is inserted and an observation is made that Knowledge Cell 800 zd follows Knowledge Cell 800 za, Connection 853 z 3 can be created between Knowledge Cell 800 za and Knowledge Cell 800 zd. The occurrence count of Connection 853 z 3 can be set to 1 and weight determined as 1/(10+15+1)=0.038. The weights of all other connections (i.e. Connection 853 z 1, Connection 853 z 2, etc.) originating from Knowledge Cell 800 za may be updated to account for the creation of Connection 853 z 3. Therefore, the weight of Connection 853 z 1 can be updated as 10/(10+15+1)=0.385. The weight of Connection 853 z 2 can also be updated as 15/(10+15+1)=0.577. As shown for example in FIG. 17C, in the case that an additional occurrence of Connection 853 z 1 is observed (i.e. Knowledge Cell 800 zb followed Knowledge Cell 800 za, etc.), occurrence count of Connection 853 z 1 and weights of all connections (i.e. Connection 853 z 1, Connection 853 z 2, and Connection 853 z 3, etc.) originating from Knowledge Cell 800 za may be updated to account for this observation. The occurrence count of Connection 853 z 1 can be increased by 1 and its weight updated as 11/(11+15+1)=0.407. The weight of Connection 853 z 2 can also be updated as 15/(11+15+1)=0.556. The weight of Connection 853 z 3 can also be updated as 1/(11+15+1)=0.037.

Referring to FIG. 18, an embodiment of learning Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 using Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d is illustrated. Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d comprises the functionality for storing any number of Knowledge Cells 800. In some aspects, Knowledge Cells 800 may be stored into or applied onto Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d in a learning or training process. In effect, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d may store Knowledge Cells 800 that can later be used to enable autonomous Avatar 605 operation. In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 structures or generates Knowledge Cells 800 as previously described and the system applies them onto Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, thereby implementing learning Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. The term apply or applying may refer to storing, copying, inserting, updating, or other similar action, therefore, these terms may be used interchangeably herein depending on context. The system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 (later described) of a newly structured Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. If a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is not found in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, the system may insert (i.e. copy, store, etc.) the Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 into Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, for example. On the other hand, if a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is found in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, the system may optionally omit inserting the Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 as inserting a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 may not add much or any additional knowledge to the Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, for example. Also, inserting a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 can optionally be omitted to save storage resources and limit the number of Knowledge Cells 800 that may later need to be processed or compared. Any features, functionalities, and embodiments of Similarity Comparison 125, importance index (later described), similarity index (later described), and/or other disclosed elements can be utilized to facilitate determination of substantial or other similarity and whether to insert a newly structured Knowledge Cell 800 into Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d.

For example, the system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 (later described) of Knowledge Cell 800 ba from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. In the case that a substantially similar match is found between Knowledge Cell 800 ba and any of the Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, the system may perform no action. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bb from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert a new Knowledge Cell 800 into Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d and copy Knowledge Cell 800 bb into the inserted new Knowledge Cell 800. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bc from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. In the case that a substantially similar match is found between Knowledge Cell 800 bc and any of the Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, the system may perform no action. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bd from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert a new Knowledge Cell 800 into Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d and copy Knowledge Cell 800 bd into the inserted new Knowledge Cell 800. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 be from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert a new Knowledge Cell 800 into Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d and copy Knowledge Cell 800 be into the inserted new Knowledge Cell 800. Applying any additional Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 onto Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d follows similar logic or process as the above-described.

Referring to FIG. 19, an embodiment of learning Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 using Neural Network 530 a is illustrated. Neural Network 530 a includes a number of neurons or Nodes 852 interconnected by Connections 853 as previously described. Knowledge Cells 800 are shown instead of Nodes 852 to simplify the illustration as Node 852 includes a Knowledge Cell 800, for example. Therefore, Knowledge Cells 800 and Nodes 852 can be used interchangeably herein depending on context. It should be noted that Node 852 may include other elements and/or functionalities instead of or in addition to Knowledge Cell 800. In some aspects, Knowledge Cells 800 may be stored into or applied onto Neural Network 530 a individually or collectively in a learning or training process. In some designs, Neural Network 530 a comprises a number of Layers 854 each of which may include one or more Knowledge Cells 800. Knowledge Cells 800 in successive Layers 854 can be connected by Connections 853. Connection 853 may include or be associated with occurrence count, weight, and/or other parameter or data as previously described. Neural Network 530 a may include any number of Layers 854 comprising any number of Knowledge Cells 800. In some aspects, Neural Network 530 a may store Knowledge Cells 800 interconnected by Connections 853 where following a path through the Neural Network 530 a can later be used to enable autonomous Avatar 605 operation. It should be understood that, in some embodiments, Knowledge Cells 800 in one Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a need not be connected only with Knowledge Cells 800 in a successive Layer 854, but also in any other Layer 854, thereby creating shortcuts (i.e. shortcut Connections 853, etc.) through Neural Network 530 a. A Knowledge Cell 800 can also be connected to itself such as, for example, in recurrent neural networks. In general, any Knowledge Cell 800 can be connected with any other Knowledge Cell 800 anywhere else in Neural Network 530 a. In further embodiments, back-propagation of any data or information can be implemented. In one example, back-propagation of similarity (i.e. similarity index, etc.) of compared Knowledge Cells 800 in a path through Neural Network 530 a can be implemented. In another example, back-propagation of errors can be implemented. Such back-propagations can then be used to adjust occurrence counts and/or weights of Connections 853 for better future predictions, for example. Any other back-propagation can be implemented for other purposes. Any combination of Nodes 852 (i.e. Nodes 852 comprising Knowledge Cells 800, etc.), Connections 853, Layers 854, and/or other elements or techniques can be implemented in alternate embodiments. Neural Network 530 a may include any type or form of a neural network known in art such as a feed-forward neural network, a back-propagating neural network, a recurrent neural network, a convolutional neural network, deep neural network, and/or others including a custom neural network.

In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 structures or generates Knowledge Cells 800 and the system applies them onto Neural Network 530 a, thereby implementing learning Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. The system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 (later described) of a Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in a Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a. If a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is not found in the Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a, the system may insert (i.e. copy, store, etc.) the Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 into the Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a, and create a Connection 853 to the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 from a Knowledge Cell 800 in a prior Layer 854 including assigning an occurrence count to the new Connection 853, calculating a weight of the new Connection 853, and updating any other Connections 853 originating from the Knowledge Cell 800 in the prior Layer 854. On the other hand, if a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is found in the Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a, the system may update occurrence count and weight of Connection 853 to that Knowledge Cell 800 from a Knowledge Cell 800 in a prior Layer 854, and update any other Connections 853 originating from the Knowledge Cell 800 in the prior Layer 854.

For example, the system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 (later described) of Knowledge Cell 800 ba from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 a of Neural Network 530 a. In the case that a substantially similar match is found between Knowledge Cell 800 ba and Knowledge Cell 800 ea, the system may perform no action since Knowledge Cell 800 ea is the initial Knowledge Cell 800. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bb from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 b of Neural Network 530 a. In the case that a substantially similar match is found between Knowledge Cell 800 bb and Knowledge Cell 800 eb, the system may update occurrence count and weight of Connection 853 e 1 between Knowledge Cell 800 ea and Knowledge Cell 800 eb, and update weights of other Connections 853 originating from Knowledge Cell 800 ea as previously described. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bc from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 c of Neural Network 530 a. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert Knowledge Cell 800 ec into Layer 854 c and copy Knowledge Cell 800 bc into the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 ec. The system may also create Connection 853 e 2 between Knowledge Cell 800 eb and Knowledge Cell 800 ec with occurrence count of 1 and weight calculated based on the occurrence count as previously described. The system may also update weights of other Connections 853 (one in this example) originating from Knowledge Cell 800 eb as previously described. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bd from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 d of Neural Network 530 a. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert Knowledge Cell 800 ed into Layer 854 d and copy Knowledge Cell 800 bd into the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 ed. The system may also create Connection 853 e 3 between Knowledge Cell 800 ec and Knowledge Cell 800 ed with occurrence count of 1 and weight of 1. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 be from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 e of Neural Network 530 a. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert Knowledge Cell 800 ee into Layer 854 e and copy Knowledge Cell 800 be into the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 ee. The system may also create Connection 853 e 4 between Knowledge Cell 800 ed and Knowledge Cell 800 ee with occurrence count of 1 and weight of 1. Applying any additional Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 onto Neural Network 530 a follows similar logic or process as the above-described.

Referring now to Similarity Comparison 125, Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality for comparing or matching Knowledge Cells 800 or portions thereof, and/or other functionalities. Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality for comparing or matching Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof. Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality for comparing or matching streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof. Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality for comparing or matching Object Representations 625 or portions thereof. Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality for comparing or matching Object Properties 630 or portions thereof. Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality for comparing or matching Instruction Sets 526, Extra Info 527, text (i.e. characters, words, phrases, etc.), numbers, and/or other elements or portions thereof. Similarity Comparison 125 may include functions, rules, and/or logic for performing matching or comparisons and for determining that while a perfect match is not found, a partial or similar match has been found. In some aspects, a partial match may include a substantially or otherwise similar match, and vice versa. Therefore, these terms may be used interchangeably herein depending on context. As such, Similarity Comparison 125 may include determining substantial similarity or substantial match of compared elements. Although, substantial similarity or substantial match is frequently used herein, it should be understood that any level of similarity, however high or low, may be utilized as defined by the rules (i.e. thresholds, etc.) for similarity. The rules for similarity or similar match can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In some designs, Similarity Comparison 125 comprises the functionality to automatically define appropriately strict rules for determining similarity of the compared elements. Similarity Comparison 125 can therefore set, reset, and/or adjust the strictness of the rules for finding or determining similarity of the compared elements, thereby fine tuning Similarity Comparison 125 so that the rules for determining similarity are appropriately strict. In some aspects, the rules for determining similarity may include a similarity threshold. As such, Similarity Comparison 125 can determine similarity of compared elements if their similarity exceeds a similarity threshold. In other aspects, the rules for determining similarity may include a difference threshold. As such, Similarity Comparison 125 can determine similarity of compared elements if their difference is lower than a difference threshold. In further aspects, the rules for determining similarity may include other thresholds. Similarity Comparison 125 enables comparing circumstances including objects with various properties and determining their similarity or match. In one example, a circumstance including an object located at a distance of 9 m and an angle/bearing of 97° relative to Avatar 605 may be found similar or matching by Similarity Comparison 125 to a circumstance including the same or similar object located at a distance of 8.7 m and an angle/bearing of 101° relative to Avatar 605. In another example, a circumstance including an object detected as a female person may be found similar or matching by Similarity Comparison 125 to a circumstance including an object detected as a male person. In general, any one or more properties (i.e. existence, type, identity, distance, bearing/angle, location, shape/size, activity, etc.) of one or more objects can be utilized for determining similarity or match of circumstances including objects with various properties. Therefore, Similarity Comparison 125 provides flexibility in comparing and determining similarity of a variety of possible circumstances of Avatar 605.

In some embodiments where compared Knowledge Cells 800 include a single Collection of Object Representations 525, in determining similarity of Knowledge Cells 800, Similarity Comparison 125 can perform comparison of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions (i.e. Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, etc.) thereof such as comparison of Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one Knowledge Cell 800 with Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from another Knowledge Cell 800. In some aspects, total equivalence is achieved when Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one Knowledge Cell 800 matches Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from another Knowledge Cell 800. If total equivalence is not found, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to determine substantial or other similarity of compared Knowledge Cells 800.

In some embodiments, in determining substantial similarity of individually compared Collections of Object Representations 525 (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525 from the compared Knowledge Cells 800, etc.), Similarity Comparison 125 can compare one or more Object Representations 625 or portions (i.e. Object Properties 630, etc.) thereof from one Collection of Object Representations 525 with one or more Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from another Collection of Object Representations 525. In some aspects, total equivalence is found when all Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from one Collection of Object Representations 525 match all Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from another Collection of Object Representations 525. In other aspects, if total equivalence is not found, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to determine substantial similarity of compared Collections of Object Representations 525. In one example, substantial similarity can be achieved when most of the Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from the compared Collections of Object Representations 525 match or substantially match. In another example, substantial similarity can be achieved when at least a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 7, 18, etc.) or percentage (i.e. 41%, 62%, 79%, 85%, 93%, etc.) of Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from the compared Collections of Object Representations 525 match or substantially match. Similarly, substantial similarity can be achieved when the number or percentage of matching or substantially matching Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from the compared Collections of Object Representations 525 exceeds a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 7, 18, etc.) or a threshold percentage (i.e. 41%, 62%, 79%, 85%, 93%, etc.). In a further example, substantial similarity can be achieved when all but a threshold number or percentage of Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from the compared Collections of Object Representations 525 match or substantially match. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and/or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In some aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize the importance (i.e. as indicated by importance index [later described], etc.) of Object Representations 625 or portions thereof for determining substantial similarity of Collections of Object Representations 525. For example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found with respect to more important Object Representations 625 or portions thereof such as Object Representations 625 representing near Objects 615, Object Representations 625 representing large Objects 615, etc., thereby tolerating mismatches in less important Object Representations 625 or portions thereof such as Object Representations 625 representing distant Objects 615, Object Representations 625 representing small Objects 615, etc. In general, any Object Representation 625 or portion thereof can be assigned higher or lower importance. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can omit some of the Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from the comparison in determining substantial similarity of Collections of Object Representations 525. In one example, Object Representations 625 representing distant Objects 615 can be omitted from comparison. In another example, Object Representations 625 representing small Objects 615 can be omitted from comparison. In general, any Object Representation 625 or portion thereof can be omitted from comparison depending on implementation.

Similarity Comparison 125 can automatically adjust (i.e. increase or decrease) the strictness of the rules for determining substantial similarity of Collections of Object Representations 525. In some aspects, such adjustment in strictness can be done by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to determining that total equivalence of compared Collections of Object Representations 525 had not been found. Similarity Comparison 125 can keep adjusting the strictness rules until a substantial similarity is found. All the rules or settings of substantial similarity can be set, reset, or adjusted by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to another strictness level determination. For example, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find a match or substantial match in a certain percentage (i.e. 83%, etc.) of Object Representations 625 or portions thereof from the compared Collections of Object Representations 525. If the comparison does not determine substantial similarity of compared Collections of Object Representations 525, Similarity Comparison 125 may decide to decrease the strictness of the rules. In response, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find fewer matching or substantially matching Object Representations 625 or portions thereof than in the previous attempt using stricter rules. If the comparison still does not determine substantial similarity of compared Collections of Object Representations 525, Similarity Comparison 125 may further decrease the strictness (i.e. down to a certain minimum strictness or threshold, etc.) by requiring fewer Object Representations 625 or portions thereof to match or substantially match, thereby further increasing a chance of finding substantial similarity in compared Collections of Object Representations 525.

Where a reference to Object Representation 625 is used herein it should be understood that a portion of Object Representation 625 (i.e. Object Property 630, etc.) or a plurality of Object Representations 625 can be used instead of or in addition to the Object Representation 625. In one example, instead of or in addition to Object Representation 625, Object Properties 630 and/or other portions that constitute an Object Representation 625 can be compared. In another example, instead of or in addition to Object Representation 625, plurality of Object Representations 625 can be compared. As such, any operations, rules, logic, and/or functions operating on Object Representation 625 may similarly apply to any portion of Object Representation 625 and/or a plurality of Object Representations 625 as applicable. In general, whole Object Representations 625, portions of Object Representations 625, and/or pluralities of Object Representations 625, including any operations thereon, can be combined to arrive at desired results. Some or all of the above-described rules, logic, and/or techniques can be utilized alone or in combination with each other or with other rules, logic, and/or techniques. One of ordinary skill in art will recognize that other techniques known in art for determining similarity of Object Representations 625 and/or other data that would be too voluminous to describe are within the scope of this disclosure.

In some embodiments, in determining substantial similarity of Object Representations 625 (i.e. Object Representations 625 from the compared Collections of Object Representations 525, etc.), Similarity Comparison 125 can compare Object Properties 630 or portions (i.e. characters, words, numbers, etc.) thereof from one Object Representation 625 with Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from another Object Representation 625. In some aspects, total equivalence is found when all Object Properties 630 or portions thereof of one Object Representation 625 match all Object Properties 630 or portions thereof of another Object Representation 625. In other aspects, if total equivalence is not found, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to determine substantial similarity of compared Object Representations 625. In one example, substantial similarity can be achieved when most of the Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 match or substantially match. In another example, substantial similarity can be achieved when at least a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, etc.) or percentage (i.e. 55%, 61%, 78%, 82%, 99%, etc.) of Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 match or substantially match. Similarly, substantial similarity can be achieved when the number or percentage of matching or substantially matching Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 exceeds a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, etc.) or a threshold percentage (i.e. 55%, 61%, 78%, 82%, 99%, etc.). In a further example, substantial similarity can be achieved when all but a threshold number or percentage of Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 match or substantially match. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and/or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize Categories 635 associated with Object Properties 630 for determining substantial similarity of Object Representations 625. In one example, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 in a same Category 635 may be compared. This way, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof can be compared with their own peers. In one instance, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 in Category 635 “Type” may be compared. Any text comparison technique can be utilized in such comparing. In another instance, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 in Category 635 “Distance” or “Bearing” may be compared. Any number comparison technique can be utilized in such comparing. In a further instance, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625 in Category 635 “Shape” may be compared. Any model or other computer construct comparison technique can be utilized in such comparing. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize the importance (i.e. as indicated by importance index [later described], etc.) of Object Properties 630 or portions thereof for determining substantial similarity of Object Representations 625. For example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found with respect to more important Object Properties 630 or portions thereof such as Object Properties 630 or portions thereof in Categories 635 “Type”, “Distance”, “Bearing”, etc., thereby tolerating mismatches in less important Object Properties 630 or portions thereof such as Object Properties 630 or portions thereof in Categories 635 “Identity”, “Shape”, etc. In general, any Object Property 630 or portion thereof can be assigned higher or lower importance. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can omit some of the Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the comparison in determining substantial similarity of Object Representations 625. In one example, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof in Category 635 “Identity” can be omitted from comparison. In another example, Object Properties 630 or portions thereof in Category 635 “Shape” can be omitted from comparison. In general, any Object Property 630 or portion thereof can be omitted from comparison depending on implementation.

Similarity Comparison 125 can automatically adjust (i.e. increase or decrease) the strictness of the rules for determining substantial similarity of Object Representations 625. In some aspects, such adjustment in strictness can be done by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to determining that total equivalence of compared Object Representations 625 had not been found. Similarity Comparison 125 can keep adjusting the strictness rules until a substantial similarity is found. All the rules or settings of substantial similarity can be set, reset, or adjusted by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to another strictness level determination. For example, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find a match or substantial match in a certain percentage (i.e. 90%, etc.) of Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625. If the comparison does not determine substantial similarity of compared Object Representations 625, Similarity Comparison 125 may decide to decrease the strictness of the rules. In response, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find fewer matching or substantially matching Object Properties 630 or portions thereof than in the previous attempt using stricter rules. If the comparison still does not determine substantial similarity of compared Object Representations 625, Similarity Comparison 125 may further decrease the strictness (i.e. down to a certain minimum strictness or threshold, etc.) by requiring fewer Object Properties 630 or portions thereof to match or substantially match, thereby further increasing a chance of finding substantial similarity in compared Object Representations 625. In further aspects, an adjustment in strictness can be done by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to determining that multiple substantially similar Object Representations 625 had been found. Similarity Comparison 125 can keep adjusting the strictness of the rules until a best of the substantially similar Object Representations 625 is found. For example, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find a match or substantial match in a certain percentage (i.e. 67%, etc.) of Object Properties 630 or portions thereof from the compared Object Representations 625. If the comparison determines a number of substantially similar Object Representations 625, Similarity Comparison 125 may decide to increase the strictness of the rules to decrease the number of substantially similar Object Representations 625. In response, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find more matching or substantially matching Object Properties 630 or portions thereof in addition to the earlier found Object Properties 630 or portions thereof to limit the number of substantially similar Object Representations 625. If the comparison still provides more than one substantially similar Object Representation 625, Similarity Comparison 125 may further increase the strictness by requiring additional Object Properties 630 or portions thereof to match or substantially match, thereby further narrowing the number of substantially similar Object Representations 625 until a best substantially similar Object Representation 625 is found.

Where a reference to Object Property 630 is used herein it should be understood that a portion of Object Property 630 or a plurality of Object Properties 630 can be used instead of or in addition to the Object Property 630. In one example, instead of or in addition to Object Property 630, characters, words, numbers, and/or other portions that constitute an Object Property 630 can be compared. In another example, instead of or in addition to Object Property 630, a plurality of Object Properties 630 can be compared. As such, any operations, rules, logic, and/or functions operating on Object Property 630 may similarly apply to any portion of Object Property 630 and/or a plurality of Object Properties 630 as applicable. In general, whole Object Properties 630, portions of Object Properties 630, and/or pluralities of Object Properties 630, including any operations thereon, can be combined to arrive at desired results. Some or all of the above-described rules, logic, and/or techniques can be utilized alone or in combination with each other or with other rules, logic, and/or techniques. One of ordinary skill in art will recognize that other techniques known in art for determining similarity of Object Properties 630 and/or other data that would be too voluminous to describe are within the scope of this disclosure.

In some embodiments where compared Knowledge Cells 800 include a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525, in determining similarity of Knowledge Cells 800, Similarity Comparison 125 can perform collective comparison of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions (i.e. Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, etc.) thereof such as comparison of a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one Knowledge Cell 800 with a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from another Knowledge Cell 800. Similarity Comparison 125 of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of the previously described Similarity Comparison 125 of individually compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof. In some aspects, total equivalence is found when all Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one Knowledge Cell 800 match all Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from another Knowledge Cell 800. If total equivalence is not found, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to determine substantial or other similarity of compared Knowledge Cells 800. In one example, substantial similarity can be achieved when most of the Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800 match or substantially match. In another example, substantial similarity can be achieved when at least a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 9, 33, 138, etc.) or percentage (i.e. 39%, 58%, 77%, 88%, 94%, etc.) of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800 match or substantially match. Similarly, substantial similarity can be achieved when the number or percentage of matching or substantially matching Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800 exceeds a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 9, 33, 138, etc.) or a threshold percentage (i.e. 39%, 58%, 77%, 88%, 94%, etc.). In a further example, substantial similarity can be achieved when all but a threshold number or percentage of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800 match or substantially match. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and/or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In some aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize the importance (i.e. as indicated by importance index [later described], etc.) of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof for determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800. In one example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found with respect to more important Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof such as more substantive or larger Collections of Object Representations 525 (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising a higher number of Object Representations 625, etc.) or portions thereof, etc., thereby tolerating mismatches in less important Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof such as less substantive or smaller Collections of Object Representations 525 (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising a lower number of Object Representations 625, etc.) or portions thereof, etc. In general, any Collection of Object Representations 525 or portion thereof can be assigned higher or lower importance. In other aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize the order of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof for determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800. In one example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found in earlier Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800, thereby tolerating mismatches in later Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof. In another example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found in corresponding (i.e. similarly ordered, temporally related, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800. In one instance, a 86th Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one Knowledge Cell 800 can be compared with a 86th Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from another Knowledge Cell 800. In another instance, a 86th Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one Knowledge Cell 800 can be compared with a number of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof around (i.e. preceding and/or following) a 86th Collection of Object Representations 525 from another Knowledge Cell 800. This way, flexibility can be implemented in finding a substantially similar Collection of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof if the Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof in the compared Knowledge Cells 800 are not perfectly aligned. In a further instance, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and/or other techniques known in art for comparing and/or aligning temporal sequences (i.e. streams of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof, etc.) that may vary in time or speed. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can omit some of the Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the comparison in determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800. In one example, less substantive or smaller Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof can be omitted from comparison. In another example, some or all Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof related to a specific time period can be omitted from comparison. In general, any Collection of Object Representations 525 or portion thereof can be omitted from comparison depending on implementation.

Similarity Comparison 125 can automatically adjust (i.e. increase or decrease) the strictness of the rules for determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800. In some aspects, such adjustment in strictness can be done by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to determining that total equivalence of compared Knowledge Cells 800 had not been found. Similarity Comparison 125 can keep adjusting the strictness of the rules until substantial similarity is found. All the rules or settings of substantial similarity can be set, reset, or adjusted by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to another strictness level determination. For example, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find a match or substantial match in a certain percentage (i.e. 89%, etc.) of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800. If the comparison does not determine substantial similarity of compared Knowledge Cells 800, Similarity Comparison 125 may decide to decrease the strictness of the rules. In response, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find fewer matching or substantially matching Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof than in the previous attempt using stricter rules. If the comparison still does not determine substantial similarity of compared Knowledge Cells 800, Similarity Comparison 125 may further decrease (i.e. down to a certain minimum strictness or threshold, etc.) the strictness by requiring fewer Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof to match or substantially match, thereby further increasing a chance of finding substantial similarity in compared Knowledge Cells 800. In further aspects, an adjustment in strictness can be done by Similarity Comparison 125 in response to determining that multiple substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800 had been found. Similarity Comparison 125 can keep adjusting the strictness of the rules until a best of the substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800 is found. For example, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find a match or substantial match in a certain percentage (i.e. 69%, etc.) of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the compared Knowledge Cells 800. If the comparison determines a number of substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800, Similarity Comparison 125 may decide to increase the strictness of the rules to decrease the number of substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800. In response, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to find more matching or substantially matching Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof in addition to the earlier found Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof to limit the number of substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800. If the comparison still provides more than one substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800, Similarity Comparison 125 may further increase the strictness by requiring additional Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof to match or substantially match, thereby further narrowing the number of substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800 until a best substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is found.

Some or all of the aforementioned rules, logic, and/or techniques for determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800 can be utilized alone or in combination with each other or with other rules, logic, and/or techniques. One of ordinary skill in art will recognize that other techniques known in art for determining similarity of Knowledge Cells 800 and/or other data that would be too voluminous to describe are within the scope of this disclosure.

In any of the comparisons involving numbers such as, for example, Object Properties 630 including numbers (i.e. distances, bearings/angles, etc.), Similarity Comparison 125 can compare a number from one Object Property 630 with a number from another Object Property 630. In some aspects, total equivalence is found when the number from one Object Property 630 equals the number from another Object Property 630. In other aspects, if total equality is not found, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to determine substantial similarity of the compared numbers using a tolerance or threshold for determining a match. In some aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize a threshold for acceptable number difference in determining a match of compared numbers. For example, a threshold for acceptable number difference (i.e. absolute difference, etc.) can be set at 10. Therefore, 130 matches or is sufficiently similar to 135 because the number difference (i.e. 5 in this example) is lower than the threshold for acceptable number difference (i.e. 10 in this example, etc.). Furthermore, 130 does not match or is not sufficiently similar to 143 because the number difference (i.e. 13 in this example) is greater than the threshold for acceptable number difference. Any other threshold for acceptable number difference can be used such as 0.024, 1, 8, 15, 77, 197, 2438, 728322, and/or others. In other aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize a threshold for acceptable percentage difference in determining a match of compared numbers. For example, a threshold for acceptable percentage difference can be set at 10%. Therefore, 100 matches or is sufficiently similar to 106 because the percentage difference (i.e. 6% in this example) is lower than the threshold for acceptable percentage difference (i.e. 10% in this example). Furthermore, 100 does not match or is not sufficiently similar to 84 because the percentage difference (i.e. 16% in this example) is higher than the threshold for acceptable percentage difference. Any other threshold for acceptable percentage difference can be used such as 0.68%, 1%, 3%, 11%, 33%, 69%, 87%, and/or others. The aforementioned thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. Other techniques known in art for comparing numbers can be utilized herein.

In any of the comparisons involving text such as, for example, Object Properties 630 including text (i.e. types, identities, etc.), Similarity Comparison 125 can compare words, characters, and/or other text from one Object Property 630 with words, characters, and/or other text from another Object Property 630. In some aspects, total equivalence is found when all words, characters, and/or other text from one Object Property 630 match all words, characters, and/or other text from another Object Property 630. In other aspects, if total equivalence is not found, Similarity Comparison 125 may attempt to determine substantial similarity of compared Object Properties 630. In one example, substantial similarity can be achieved when most of the words, characters, and/or other text from the compared Object Properties 630 match or substantially match. In another example, substantial similarity can be achieved when at least a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, etc.) or percentage (i.e. 38%, 63%, 77%, 84%, 98%, etc.) of words, characters, and/or other text from the compared Object Properties 630 match or substantially match. Similarly, substantial similarity can be achieved when the number or percentage of matching or substantially matching words, characters, and/or other text from the compared Object Properties 630 exceeds a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, etc.) or a threshold percentage (i.e. 48%, 63%, 77%, 84%, 98%, etc.). In a further example, substantial similarity can be achieved when all but a threshold number or percentage of words, characters, and/or other text from the compared Object Properties 630 match or substantially match. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and/or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize the importance (i.e. as indicated by importance index [later described], etc.) of words, characters, and/or other text for determining substantial similarity of Object Properties 630. For example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found with respect to more important words, characters, and/or other text such as longer words and/or other text, thereby tolerating mismatches in less important words, characters, and/or other text such as shorter words and/or other text. In general, any word, character, and/or other text can be assigned higher or lower importance. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize the order of words, characters, and/or other text for determining substantial similarity of Object Properties 630. For example, substantial similarity can be achieved when matches or substantial matches are found with respect to front-most words, characters, and/or other text, thereby tolerating mismatches in later words, characters, and/or other text. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize semantic conversion to account for variations of words and/or other text. In one example, Object Property 630 may include a word “house”. In addition to searching for the exact word in a compared Object Property 630, Similarity Comparison 125 can employ semantic conversion and attempt to match “home”, “residence”, “dwelling”, “place”, or other semantically similar variations of the word with a meaning “house”. In another example, Object Property 630 may include a word “buy”. In addition to searching for the exact word in a compared Object Property 630, Similarity Comparison 125 can employ semantic conversion and attempt to match “buying”, “bought”, or other semantically similar variations of the word with a meaning “buy” in different tenses. Any other grammatical analysis or transformation can be utilized to cover the full scope of word and/or other text variations. In some designs, semantic conversion can be implemented using a thesaurus or dictionary. In another example, semantic conversion can be implemented using a table where each row comprises semantically similar variations of a word and/or other text. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can utilize a language model for understanding or interpreting the concepts contained in the words and/or other text and compare the concepts instead of or in addition to the words and/or other text. Examples of language models include unigram model, n-gram model, neural network language model, bag of words model, and/or others. Any of the techniques for matching of words can similarly be used for matching of concepts. In further aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can omit some of the words, characters, and/or other text from the comparison in determining substantial similarity of Object Properties 630. In one example, rear-most words, characters, and/or other text can be omitted from comparison. In another example, shorter words and/or other text can be omitted from comparison. In general, any word, character, and/or other text can be omitted from comparison depending on implementation. Other techniques known in art for comparing words, characters, and/or other text can be utilized herein.

In some embodiments, Similarity Comparison 125 can compare one or more Extra Info 527 (i.e. time information, location information, computed information, visual information, acoustic information, contextual information, and/or other information, etc.) in addition to or instead of comparing Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof in determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800. Extra Info 527 can be set to be less, equally, or more important (i.e. as indicated by importance index [later described], etc.) than Collections of Object Representations 525, Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, and/or other elements in the comparison. Since Extra Info 527 may include any contextual or other information that can be useful in determining similarity of any compared elements, Extra Info 527 can be used to enhance any of the aforementioned similarity determinations as applicable.

In some embodiments, Similarity Comparison 125 can also compare one or more Instruction Sets 526 in addition to or instead of comparing Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof in determining substantial similarity of Knowledge Cells 800. In some aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can compare portions of Instruction Sets 526 to determine substantial or other similarity of Instruction Sets 526. Similar to the above-described thresholds, thresholds for the number or percentage of matching portions of the compared Instruction Sets 526 can be utilized in determining substantial or other similarity of the compared Instruction Sets 526. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and/or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In other aspects, Similarity Comparison 125 can compare text (i.e. characters, words, phrases, etc.), numbers, or other data (i.e. bits, etc.) to determine substantial or other similarity of Instruction Sets 526. Any other comparison technique can be utilized in comparing Instruction Sets 526 in alternate implementations. Instruction Sets 526 can be set to be less, equally, or more important (i.e. as indicated by importance index [later described], etc.) than Collections of Object Representations 525, Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, Extra Info 527, and/or other elements in the comparison.

In some embodiments, an importance index (not shown) or other importance ranking technique can be used in any of the previously described comparisons or other processing involving elements of different importance. Importance index indicates importance of the element to or with which the index is assigned or associated. For example, importance index may indicate importance of a Knowledge Cell 800, Collection of Object Representations 525, Object Representation 625, Object Property 630, Instruction Set 526, Extra Info 527, and/or other element to or with which the index is assigned or associated. In some aspects, importance index on a scale from 0 to 1 can be utilized, although, any other range can also be utilized. Importance index can be stored in or associated with the element to which the index pertains. Importance indexes of various elements can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. In one example, a higher Importance index can be assigned to more substantive or larger Collections of Object Representations 525 (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising a higher number of Object Representations 625, etc.). In another example, a higher importance index can be assigned to Object Representations 625 representing closer, larger, and/or other Objects 615. Any importance index can be assigned to or associated with any element described herein depending on implementation. Any importance ranking technique can be utilized as or instead of importance index in alternate embodiments.

In some embodiments, Similarity Comparison 125 may generate a similarity index (not shown) for any of the compared elements. Similarity index indicates how well an element is matched with another element. For example, similarity index indicates how well a Knowledge Cell 800, Collection of Object Representations 525, Object Representation 625, Object Property 630, Instruction Set 526, Extra Info 527, and/or other element is matched with a compared element. In some aspects, similarity index on a scale from 0 to 1 can be utilized, although, any other range can also be utilized. Similarity index can be generated by Similarity Comparison 125 whether substantial or other similarity between the compared elements is achieved or not. In one example, similarity index can be determined for a Knowledge Cell 800 based on a ratio/percentage of matched or substantially matched Collections of Object Representations 525 relative to the number of Collections of Object Representations 525 in the compared Knowledge Cell 800. Specifically, similarity index of 0.89 is determined if 89% of Collections of Object Representations 525 of one Knowledge Cell 800 match or substantially match Collections of Object Representations 525 of another Knowledge Cell 800. In some designs, importance (i.e. as indicated by importance index, etc.) of one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 can be included in the calculation of a weighted similarity index. Similar determination of similarity index can be implemented with Collections of Object Representations 525, Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, Instruction Sets 526, Extra Info 527, and/or other elements or portions thereof. Any combination of the aforementioned similarity index determinations or calculations can be utilized in alternate embodiments. Any similarity ranking technique can be utilized to determine or calculate similarity index in alternate embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 20, an embodiment of learning Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 using Neural Network 530 a comprising shortcut Connections 853 is illustrated. In some designs, Knowledge Cells 800 in one Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a can be connected with Knowledge Cells 800 in any Layer 854, not only in a successive Layer 854, thereby creating shortcuts (i.e. shortcut Connections 853, etc.) through Neural Network 530 a. In some aspects, creating a shortcut Connection 853 can be implemented by performing Similarity Comparisons 125 of a Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in any Layer 854 when applying (i.e. storing, copying, etc.) the Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 onto Neural Network 530 a. Once created, shortcut Connections 853 enable a wider variety of Knowledge Cells 800 to be considered when selecting a path through Neural Network 530 a. In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 structures or generates Knowledge Cells 800 and the system applies them onto Neural Network 530 a, thereby implementing learning Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. The system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of a Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in one or more Layers 854 of Neural Network 530 a. If a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is not found in the one or more Layers 854 of Neural Network 530 a, the system may insert (i.e. copy, store, etc.) the Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 into a Layer 854 of Neural Network 530 a, and create a Connection 853 to the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 from a prior Knowledge Cell 800 including assigning an occurrence count to the new Connection 853, calculating a weight of the new Connection 853, and updating any other Connections 853 originating from the prior Knowledge Cell 800. On the other hand, if a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is found in the one or more Layers 854 of Neural Network 530 a, the system may update occurrence count and weight of Connection 853 to that Knowledge Cell 800 from a prior Knowledge Cell 800, and update any other Connections 853 originating from the prior Knowledge Cell 800. Any of the previously described and/or other techniques for comparing, inserting, updating, and/or other operations on Knowledge Cells 800, Connections 853, Layers 854, and/or other elements can similarly be utilized in Neural Network 530 a that comprises shortcut Connections 853.

Referring to FIG. 21, an embodiment of learning Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 using Graph 530 b is illustrated. In some aspects, any Knowledge Cell 800 can be connected with any other Knowledge Cell 800 in Graph 530 b. In other aspects, any Knowledge Cell 800 can be connected with itself and/or any other Knowledge Cell 800 in Graph 530 b. In some embodiments, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 structures or generates Knowledge Cells 800 and the system applies (i.e. store, copy, etc.) them onto Graph 530 b, thereby implementing learning Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. The system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of a Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. If a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is not found in Graph 530 b, the system may insert (i.e. copy, store, etc.) the Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 into Graph 530 b, and create a Connection 853 to the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 from a prior Knowledge Cell 800 including assigning an occurrence count to the new Connection 853, calculating a weight of the new Connection 853, and updating any other Connections 853 originating from the prior Knowledge Cell 800. On the other hand, if a substantially similar Knowledge Cell 800 is found in Graph 530 b, the system may update occurrence count and weight of Connection 853 to that Knowledge Cell 800 from a prior Knowledge Cell 800, and update any other Connections 853 originating from the prior Knowledge Cell 800. Any of the previously described and/or other techniques for comparing, inserting, updating, and/or other operations on Knowledge Cells 800, Connections 853, and/or other elements can similarly be utilized in Graph 530 b.

For example, the system can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 ba from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert Knowledge Cell 800 ha into Graph 530 b and copy Knowledge Cell 800 ba into the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 ha. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bb from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. In the case that a substantially similar match is found between Knowledge Cell 800 bb and Knowledge Cell 800 hb, the system may create Connection 853 h 1 between Knowledge Cell 800 ha and Knowledge Cell 800 hb with occurrence count of 1 and weight of 1. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bc from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. In the case that a substantially similar match is found between Knowledge Cell 800 bc and Knowledge Cell 800 hc, the system may update occurrence count and weight of Connection 853 h 2 between Knowledge Cell 800 hb and Knowledge Cell 800 hc, and update weights of other outgoing Connections 853 (one in this example) originating from Knowledge Cell 800 hb as previously described. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 bd from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert Knowledge Cell 800 hd into Graph 530 b and copy Knowledge Cell 800 bd into the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 hd. The system may also create Connection 853 h 3 between Knowledge Cell 800 hc and Knowledge Cell 800 hd with occurrence count of 1 and weight calculated based on the occurrence count as previously described. The system may also update weights of other outgoing Connections 853 (one in this example) originating from Knowledge Cell 800 hc as previously described. The system can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cell 800 be from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. In the case that a substantially similar match is not found, the system may insert Knowledge Cell 800 he into Graph 530 b and copy Knowledge Cell 800 be into the inserted Knowledge Cell 800 he. The system may also create Connection 853 h 4 between Knowledge Cell 800 hd and Knowledge Cell 800 he with occurrence count of 1 and weight of 1. Applying any additional Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 onto Graph 530 b follows similar logic or process as the above-described.

Referring to FIG. 22, an embodiment of learning Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527 using Collection of Sequences 530 c is illustrated. Collection of Sequences 530 c comprises the functionality for storing one or more Sequences 533. Sequence 533 comprises the functionality for storing any number of Knowledge Cells 800. For example, Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 structures or generates Knowledge Cells 800 and the system applies them onto Collection of Sequences 530 c, thereby implementing learning Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. The system can perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in Sequences 533 of Collection of Sequences 530 c to find a Sequence 533 comprising Knowledge Cells 800 that are collectively substantially similar to the Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520. If Sequence 533 comprising such collectively substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800 is not found in Collection of Sequences 530 c, the system may create a new Sequence 533 comprising the Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 and insert (i.e. copy, store, etc.) the new Sequence 533 into Collection of Sequences 530 c. On the other hand, if Sequence 533 comprising collectively substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800 is found in Collection of Sequences 530 c, the system may optionally omit inserting the Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 into Collection of Sequences 530 c as inserting a similar Sequence 533 may not add much or any additional knowledge. This approach can save storage resources and limit the number of Knowledge Cells 800 that may later need to be processed or compared. In some aspects, a Sequence 533 may include Knowledge Cells 800 relating to a single operation of Avatar 605. In other aspects, a Sequence 533 may include Knowledge Cells 800 relating to a part of an operation of Avatar 605. In further aspects, one or more long Sequences 533 each including Knowledge Cells 800 of multiple operations of Avatar 605 can be utilized. In one example, Knowledge Cells 800 of all operations can be stored in a single long Sequence 533 in which case Collection of Sequences 530 c as a separate element can be omitted. In another example, Knowledge Cells 800 of multiple operations can be included in a plurality of long Sequences 533 such as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or other periodic or other Sequences 533. Similarity Comparisons 125 can be performed by traversing the one or more long Sequences 533 to find a match or substantially similar match. For instance, the system can perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 with Knowledge Cells 800 in subsequences of a long Sequence 533 in incremental or other traversing pattern to find a subsequence comprising Knowledge Cells 800 that are collectively substantially similar to the Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520. The incremental traversing pattern may start from one end of a long Sequence 533 and move the comparison subsequence up or down one or any number of incremental Knowledge Cells 800 at a time. Other traversing patterns or methods can be employed such as starting from the middle of the Sequence 533 and subdividing the resulting sub-sequences in a recursive pattern, or any other traversing pattern or method. If a subsequence comprising collectively substantially similar Knowledge Cells 800 is not found in the long Sequence 533, the system may concatenate or append the Knowledge Cells 800 from Knowledge Structuring Unit 520 to the long Sequence 533. In further aspects, Connections 853 can optionally be used in Sequence 533 to connect Knowledge Cells 800. For example, a Knowledge Cell 800 can be connected not only with a next Knowledge Cell 800 in the Sequence 533, but also with any other Knowledge Cell 800 in the Sequence 533, thereby creating alternate routes or shortcuts through the Sequence 533. Any number of Connections 853 connecting any Knowledge Cells 800 can be utilized. Any of the previously described and/or other techniques for comparing, inserting, updating, and/or other operations on Knowledge Cells 800, Connections 853, and/or other elements can similarly be utilized in Sequences 533 and/or Collection of Sequences 530 c.

In some embodiments, various elements and/or techniques can be utilized in the aforementioned substantial similarity determinations with respect to collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 and/or other elements. In some aspects, substantial similarity of collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 can be determined based on similarities or similarity indexes of the individually compared Knowledge Cells 800. In one example, an average of similarities or similarity indexes of individually compared Knowledge Cells 800 can be used to determine similarity of collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800. In another example, a weighted average of similarities or similarity indexes of individually compared Knowledge Cells 800 can be used to determine similarity of collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800. For instance, to affect the weighting of collective similarity, a higher weight or importance (i.e. importance index, etc.) can be assigned to the similarities or similarity indexes of some Knowledge Cells 800 and lower for other Knowledge Cells 800. Any higher or lower weight or importance assignment can be implemented. In other aspects, any of the previously described or other thresholds for substantial similarity of individually compared elements can similarly be utilized for collectively compared elements. In one example, substantial similarity of collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 can be achieved when their collective similarity or similarity index exceeds a similarity threshold. In another example, substantial similarity of collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 can be achieved when at least a threshold number or percentage of Knowledge Cells 800 from the collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 match or substantially match. Similarly, substantial similarity of collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 can be achieved when a number or percentage of matching or substantially matching Knowledge Cells 800 from the collectively compared Knowledge Cells 800 exceeds a threshold. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. Similar elements and/or techniques as the aforementioned can be used for similarity determinations of other collectively compared elements such as Collections of Object Representations 525, Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, Instruction Sets 526, Extra Info 527, and/or others. Similarity determinations of collectively compared elements may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of Similarity Comparison 125, and vice versa.

Any of the previously described data structures or arrangements of Knowledge Cells 800 such as Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, and/or others can be used alone, or in combination with each other or with other elements, in alternate embodiments. In one example, a path in Neural Network 530 a or Graph 530 b may include its own separate sequence of Knowledge Cells 800 that are not interconnected with Knowledge Cells 800 in other paths. In another example, a part of a path in Neural Network 530 a or Graph 530 b may include a sequence of Knowledge Cells 800 interconnected with Knowledge Cells 800 in other paths, whereas, another part of the path may include its own separate sequence of Knowledge Cells 800 that are not interconnected with Knowledge Cells 800 in other paths. Any other combinations or arrangements of Knowledge Cells 800 can be implemented.

Referring to FIG. 23, an embodiment of determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 from a single Knowledge Cell 800 is illustrated. Knowledge Cell 800 may be part of a Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.) such as Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. Decision-making Unit 540 comprises the functionality for anticipating or determining Avatar's 605 operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. Decision-making Unit 540 comprises the functionality for anticipating or determining Instruction Sets 526 to be used or executed in Avatar's 605 autonomous operation. In some aspects, Instruction Sets 526 anticipated or determined to be used or executed in Avatar's 605 autonomous operation may be referred to as anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, alternate Instruction Sets 526, and/or other suitable name or reference. Therefore, these terms can be used interchangeably herein depending on context. Decision-making Unit 540 also comprises other disclosed functionalities.

In some aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 may anticipate or determine Instruction Sets 526 (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) for autonomous Avatar 605 operation by performing Similarity Comparisons 125 of incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cells 800 in Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). A Knowledge Cell 800 includes knowledge (i.e. one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527, etc.) of how Avatar 605 operated in a circumstance including objects with various properties as previously described. When one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 representing objects with similar properties are received in the future, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate the Instruction Sets 526 (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) previously learned in a similar circumstance, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. In some aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 from Knowledge Cells 800 in Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). If one or more substantially similar Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof are found in a Knowledge Cell 800 from Knowledgebase 530, Instruction Sets 526 (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) for autonomous Avatar 605 operation can be anticipated in Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from the Knowledge Cell 800. In some designs, subsequent one or more Instruction Sets 526 for autonomous Avatar 605 operation can be anticipated in Instruction Sets 526 correlated with subsequent Collections of Object Representations 525 from the Knowledge Cell 800 or other Knowledge Cells 800, thereby anticipating not only current, but also additional future Instruction Sets 526. Although, Extra Info 527 is not shown in this and/or other figures for clarity of illustration, it should be noted that any Collection of Object Representations 525, Instruction Set 526, and/or other element may include or be associated with Extra Info 527 and that Decision-making Unit 540 can utilize Extra Info 527 for enhanced decision making.

For example, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 1 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 1 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 1 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 a 1-526 a 3 correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 1, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 2 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 2 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 2 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Set 526 a 4 correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 2, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 3 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 may not anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 since none are correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 4 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 4 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 4 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may not be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 5 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 5 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 5 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may not be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can implement similar logic or process for any additional Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140, and so on.

It should be understood that any of the described elements and/or techniques in the foregoing example can be omitted, used in a different combination, or used in combination with other elements and/or techniques, in which case the selection of Knowledge Cells 800 or elements (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof would be affected accordingly. In one example, Extra Info 527 can be included in the Similarity Comparisons 125 as previously described. In another example, as history of incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 becomes available, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of the history of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with subsequences of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800. In a further example, the described comparisons in a single Knowledge Cell 800 may be performed on any number of Knowledge Cells 800 sequentially or in parallel. Parallel processors such as a plurality of Processors 11 or cores thereof can be utilized for such parallel processing. In a further example, various arrangements of Collections of Object Representations 525 and/or other elements in a Knowledge Cell 800 can be utilized as previously described. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the foregoing exemplary embodiment is described merely as an example of a variety of possible implementations, and that while all of its variations are too voluminous to describe, they are within the scope of this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 24, an embodiment of determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 by traversing a single Knowledge Cell 800 is illustrated. Knowledge Cell 800 may be part of a Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.) such as Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. For example, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 1 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 1 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 1 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may not be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 1 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 2 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 2 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may not be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 1 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 may not anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 since none are correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 3. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 2 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 4 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 4 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 a 5-526 a 6 correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 4, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparison 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 3 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 5 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa. Collection of Object Representations 525 a 5 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 oa may be found substantially similar. Decision-making Unit 540 may not anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 since none are correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 a 5. Decision-making Unit 540 can implement similar logic or process for any additional Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140, and so on.

It should be understood that any of the described elements and/or techniques in the foregoing example can be omitted, used in a different combination, or used in combination with other elements and/or techniques, in which case the selection of Knowledge Cells 800 or elements (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof would be affected accordingly. In one example, Extra Info 527 can be included in the Similarity Comparisons 125 as previously described. In another example, as history of incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 becomes available, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of the history of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with subsequences of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800. In a further example, traversing may be performed in incremental traversing pattern such as starting from one end of Knowledge Cell 800 and moving the comparison subsequence up or down the list one or any number of incremental Collections of Object Representations 525 at a time. Other traversing patterns or methods can be employed such as starting from the middle of the Knowledge Cell 800 and subdividing the resulting subsequence in a recursive pattern, or any other traversing pattern or method. In a further example, the described traversing of a single Knowledge Cell 800 may be performed on any number of Knowledge Cells 800 sequentially or in parallel. Parallel processors such as a plurality of Processors 11 or cores thereof can be utilized for such parallel processing. In a further example, various arrangements of Collections of Object Representations 525 and/or other elements in a Knowledge Cell 800 can be utilized as previously described. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the foregoing exemplary embodiment is described merely as an example of a variety of possible implementations, and that while all of its variations are too voluminous to describe, they are within the scope of this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 25, an embodiment of determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using collective similarity comparisons is illustrated. For example, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collection of Object Representations 525 l 1 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. Collection of Object Representations 525 c 1 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 rc may be found substantially similar with highest similarity. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 (not shown) correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 c 1, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 l 1-525 l 2 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. Collections of Object Representations 525 c 1-525 c 2 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 rc may be found substantially similar with highest similarity. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 (not shown) correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 c 2, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 l 1-525 l 3 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. Collections of Object Representations 525 d 1-525 d 3 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 rd may be found substantially similar with highest similarity. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 (not shown) correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 d 3, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 l 1-525 l 4 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. Collections of Object Representations 525 d 1-525 d 4 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 rd may be found substantially similar with highest similarity. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 (not shown) correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 d 4, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform collective Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 l 1-525 l 5 or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cells 800 in Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d. Collections of Object Representations 525 d 1-525 d 5 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 rd may be found substantially similar with highest similarity. Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate any Instruction Sets 526 (not shown) correlated with Collection of Object Representations 525 d 5, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can implement similar logic or process for any additional Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140, and so on.

In some embodiments, various elements and/or techniques can be utilized in the aforementioned similarity determinations with respect to collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 and/or other elements. In some aspects, similarity of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 can be determined based on similarities or similarity indexes of the individually compared Collections of Object Representations 525. In one example, an average of similarities or similarity indexes of individually compared Collections of Object Representations 525 can be used to determine similarity of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525. In another example, a weighted average of similarities or similarity indexes of individually compared Collections of Object Representations 525 can be used to determine similarity of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525. For instance, to affect the weighting of collective similarity, a higher weight or importance (i.e. importance index, etc.) can be assigned to the similarities or similarity indexes of some (i.e. more substantive or larger, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525 and lower for other (i.e. less substantive or smaller, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525. Any other higher or lower weight or importance assignment can be implemented. In other aspects, any of the previously described or other thresholds for substantial similarity of individually compared elements can be similarly utilized for collectively compared elements. In one example, substantial similarity of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 can be achieved when their collective similarity or similarity index exceeds a similarity threshold. In another example, substantial similarity of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 can be achieved when at least a threshold number or percentage of Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 match or substantially match. Similarly, substantial similarity of collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 can be achieved when a number or percentage of matching or substantially matching Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from the collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 exceeds a threshold. Such thresholds can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. Similar elements and/or techniques as the aforementioned can be used for similarity determinations of other collectively compared elements such as Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, Instruction Sets 526, Extra Info 527, Knowledge Cells 800, and/or others. Similarity determinations of collectively compared elements may include any features, functionalities, and embodiments of Similarity Comparison 125, and vice versa.

It should be understood that any of the described elements and/or techniques in the foregoing example can be omitted, used in a different combination, or used in combination with other elements and/or techniques, in which case the selection of Knowledge Cells 800 or elements (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof would be affected accordingly. Any of the elements and/or techniques utilized in other examples or embodiments described herein such as using Extra Info 527 in Similarity Comparisons 125, traversing of Knowledge Cells 800 or other elements, using history of Collections of Object Representations 525 or Knowledge Cells 800 for collective Similarity Comparisons 125, using various arrangements of Collections of Object Representations 525 and/or other elements in a Knowledge Cell 800, and/or others can similarly be utilized in this example. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the foregoing exemplary embodiment is described merely as an example of a variety of possible implementations, and that while all of its variations are too voluminous to describe, they are within the scope of this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 26, an embodiment of determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using Neural Network 530 a is illustrated. In some aspects, determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using Neural Network 530 a may include selecting a path of Knowledge Cells 800 or elements (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof through Neural Network 530 a. Decision-making Unit 540 can utilize various elements and/or techniques for selecting a path through Neural Network 530 a. Although, these elements and/or techniques are described with respect to Neural Network 530 a below, they can similarly be used in any Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.) as applicable.

In some embodiments, Decision-making Unit 540 can utilize similarity index in selecting Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof in a path through Neural Network 530 a. For instance, similarity index may indicate how well one Knowledge Cell 800 or portions thereof are matched with another Knowledge Cell 800 or portions thereof as previously described. In one example, Decision-making Unit 540 may select a Knowledge Cell 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 with highest similarity index even if Connection 853 pointing to that Knowledge Cell 800 has less than the highest weight. Therefore, similarity index or other such element or parameter can override or disregard the weight of a Connection 853 or other element. In another example, Decision-making Unit 540 may select a Knowledge Cell 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 whose similarity index is higher than or equal to a weight of Connection 853 pointing to that Knowledge Cell 800. In a further example, Decision-making Unit 540 may select a Knowledge Cell 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 whose similarity index is lower than or equal to a weight of Connection 853 pointing to that Knowledge Cell 800. Similarity index can be set to be more, less, or equally important than a weight of a Connection 853.

In some embodiments, Decision-making Unit 540 can utilize Connections 853 in selecting Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof in a path through Neural Network 530 a. In some aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 can take into account weights of Connections 853 among the interconnected Knowledge Cells 800 in choosing from which Knowledge Cell 800 to compare one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 first, second, third, and so on. Specifically, for instance, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 with one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 from Knowledge Cell 800 pointed to by the highest weight Connection 853 first, Collections of Object Representations 525 from Knowledge Cell 800 pointed to by the second highest weight Connection 853 second, and so on. In other aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 can stop performing Similarity Comparisons 125 as soon as it finds one or more substantially similar Collections of Object Representations 525 in an interconnected Knowledge Cell 800. In further aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 may only follow the highest weight Connection 853 to arrive at a Knowledge Cell 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 to be compared, thereby disregarding Connections 853 with less than the highest weight. In further aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 may ignore weights and/or other parameters of Connections 853. In further aspects, Decision-making Unit 540 may ignore Connections 853.

In some embodiments, Decision-making Unit 540 can utilize a bias to adjust similarity index, weight of a Connection 853, and/or other element or parameter used in selecting Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof in a path through Neural Network 530 a. In one example, Decision-making Unit 540 may select a Knowledge Cell 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 whose similarity index multiplied by or adjusted for a bias is higher than or equal to a weight of Connection 853 pointing to that Knowledge Cell 800. In another example, Decision-making Unit 540 may select a Knowledge Cell 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 whose similarity index multiplied by or adjusted for a bias is lower than or equal to a weight of Connection 853 pointing to that Knowledge Cell 800. In a further example, bias can be used to resolve deadlock situations where similarity index is equal to a weight of a Connection 853. In some aspects, bias can be expressed in percentages such as 0.3 percent, 1.2 percent, 25.7 percent, 79.8 percent, 99.9 percent, 100.1 percent, 155.4 percent, 298.6 percent, 1105.5 percent, and so on. For example, a bias below 100 percent decreases an element or parameter to which it is applied, a bias equal to 100 percent does not change the element or parameter to which it is applied, and a bias higher than 100 percent increases the element or parameter to which it is applied. In general, any amount of bias can be utilized depending on implementation. Bias can be applied to one or more of a weight of a Connection 853, similarity index, any other element or parameter, and/or all or any combination of them. Also, different biases can be applied to each of a weight of a Connection 853, similarity index, or any other element or parameter. For example, 30 percent bias can be applied to similarity index and 15 percent bias can be applied to a weight of a Connection 853. Also, different biases can be applied to various Layers 854 of Neural Network 530 a, and/or other disclosed elements. Bias can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input.

Any other element and/or technique can be utilized in selecting Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof in a path through Neural Network 530 a.

In some embodiments, Neural Network 530 a may include knowledge (i.e. interconnected Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527, etc.) of how Avatar 605 operated in circumstances including objects with various properties. In some aspects, determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using Neural Network 530 a may include selecting a path of Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof through Neural Network 530 a. Individual and/or collective Similarity Comparisons 125 can be used to determine substantial similarity of the individually and/or collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof. Substantial similarity may be used primarily for selecting a path through Neural Network 530 a, whereas, weight of any Connection 853 may be used secondarily or not at all.

For example, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 a 1-525 an or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 a (or any other one or more Layers 854, etc.). Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 ta may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 b 1-525 bn or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 b interconnected with Knowledge Cell 800 ta. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 tb may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity, thus, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 t 1 disregarding its less than highest weight. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Since Connection 853 t 2 is the only connection from Knowledge Cell 800 tb, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 t 2 and perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 c 1-525 cn or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 tc in Layer 854 c. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 tc may be found collectively substantially similar. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 d 1-525 dn or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 d interconnected with Knowledge Cell 800 tc. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 td may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity, thus, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 t 3. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 e 1-525 en or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Layer 854 e interconnected with Knowledge Cell 800 td. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 te may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity, thus, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 t 4. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can implement similar logic or process for any additional Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140.

The foregoing exemplary embodiment provides an example of utilizing a combination of collective Similarity Comparisons 125, individual Similarity Comparisons 125, Connections 853, and/or other elements or techniques. It should be understood that any of these elements and/or techniques can be omitted, used in a different combination, or used in combination with other elements and/or techniques, in which case the selection of Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof in a path through Neural Network 530 a would be affected accordingly. Any of the elements and/or techniques utilized in other examples or embodiments described herein such as using Extra Info 527 in Similarity Comparisons 125, traversing of Knowledge Cells 800 or other elements, using history of Collections of Object Representations 525 or Knowledge Cells 800 for collective Similarity Comparisons 125, using various arrangements of Collections of Object Representations 525 and/or other elements in a Knowledge Cell 800, and/or others can similarly be utilized in this example. These elements and/or techniques can similarly be utilized in Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, and/or other data structures or arrangements. In some aspects, instead of anticipating Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar streams of Collections of Object Representations 525. In other aspects, any time that substantial similarity or other similarity threshold is not achieved in compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from any of the Knowledge Cells 800, Decision-making Unit 540 can decide to look for a substantially or otherwise similar Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof in Knowledge Cells 800 elsewhere in Neural Network 530 a such as in any Layer 854 subsequent to a current Layer 854, in the first Layer 854, in the entire Neural Network 530 a, and/or others, even if such Knowledge Cell 800 may be unconnected with a prior Knowledge Cell 800. It should be noted that any of Collections of Object Representations 525 a 1-525 an, 525 b 1-525 bn, 525 c 1-525 cn, 525 d 1-525 dn, 525 e 1-525 en, etc. may include one Collection of Object Representations 525 or a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525. It should also be noted that any Knowledge Cell 800 may include one Collection of Object Representations 525 or a stream of Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the foregoing exemplary embodiment is described merely as an example of a variety of possible implementations, and that while all of its variations are too voluminous to describe, they are within the scope of this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 27, an embodiment of determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using Graph 530 b is illustrated. Graph 530 b may include knowledge (i.e. interconnected Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527, etc.) of how Avatar 605 operated in circumstances including objects with various properties. In some aspects, determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using Graph 530 b may include selecting a path of Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof through Graph 530 b. Individual and/or collective Similarity Comparisons 125 can be used to determine substantial similarity of the individually and/or collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof. Substantial similarity may be used primarily for selecting a path through Graph 530 b, whereas, weight of any Connection 853 may be used secondarily or not at all.

For example, Decision-making Unit 540 can perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 a 1-525 an or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 ua may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 b 1-525 bn or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b interconnected with Knowledge Cell 800 ua by outgoing Connections 853. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 ub may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity, thus, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 u 1 disregarding its less than highest weight. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 c 1-525 cn or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b interconnected with Knowledge Cell 800 ub by outgoing Connections 853. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 uc may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity, thus, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 u 2 disregarding its less than highest weight. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Since Connection 853 u 3 is the only connection from Knowledge Cell 800 uc, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 u 3 and perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 d 1-525 dn or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 ud in Graph 530 b. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 ud may be found collectively substantially similar. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can then perform Similarity Comparisons 125 of Collections of Object Representations 525 e 1-525 en or portions thereof from Object Processing Unit 140 with Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from one or more Knowledge Cells 800 in Graph 530 b interconnected with Knowledge Cell 800 ud by outgoing Connections 853. Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof from Knowledge Cell 800 ue may be found collectively substantially similar with highest similarity, thus, Decision-making Unit 540 may follow Connection 853 u 4. As the comparisons of individual Collections of Object Representations 525 are performed to determine collective similarity, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525 as previously described, thereby enabling autonomous Avatar 605 operation. Decision-making Unit 540 can implement similar logic or process for any additional Collections of Object Representations 525 from Object Processing Unit 140.

The foregoing exemplary embodiment provides an example of utilizing a combination of collective Similarity Comparisons 125, individual Similarity Comparisons 125, Connections 853, and/or other elements or techniques. It should be understood that any of these elements and/or techniques can be omitted, used in a different combination, or used in combination with other elements and/or techniques, in which case the selection of Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof in a path through Graph 530 b would be affected accordingly. Any of the elements and/or techniques utilized in other examples or embodiments described herein such as using Extra Info 527 in Similarity Comparisons 125, traversing of Knowledge Cells 800 or other elements, using history of Collections of Object Representations 525 or Knowledge Cells 800 in collective Similarity Comparisons 125, using various arrangements of Collections of Object Representations 525 and/or other elements in a Knowledge Cell 800, and/or others can similarly be utilized in this example. These elements and/or techniques can similarly be utilized in Neural Network 530 a, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, and/or other data structures or arrangements. In some aspects, instead of anticipating Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially similar individual Collections of Object Representations 525, Decision-making Unit 540 can anticipate Instruction Sets 526 correlated with substantially matching streams of Collections of Object Representations 525. In other aspects, any time that substantial similarity or other similarity threshold is not achieved in compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof of any of the Knowledge Cells 800, Decision-making Unit 540 can decide to look for a substantially or otherwise similar Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof in Knowledge Cells 800 elsewhere in Graph 530 b even if such Knowledge Cell 800 may be unconnected with a prior Knowledge Cell 800.

Referring to FIG. 28, an embodiment of determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 using Collection of Sequences 530 c is illustrated. Collection of Sequences 530 c may include knowledge (i.e. sequences of Knowledge Cells 800 comprising one or more Collections of Object Representations 525 correlated with any Instruction Sets 526 and/or Extra Info 527, etc.) of how Avatar 605 operated in circumstances including objects with various properties. In some aspects, determining anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 for autonomous Avatar 605 operation using Collection of Sequences 530 c may include selecting a Sequence 533 of Knowledge Cells 800 or portions (i.e. Collections of Object Representations 525, Instruction Sets 526, etc.) thereof from Collection of Sequences 530 c. Individual and/or collective Similarity Comparisons 125 can be used to determine substantial similarity of the individually and/or collectively compared Collections of Object Representations 525 or portions thereof.

Modification Interface 130 comprises the functionality for modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element. Modification Interface 130 comprises the functionality for modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element at runtime. Modification Interface 130 comprises the functionality for modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element based on anticipatory Instruction Sets 526. In one example, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 may determine anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 to be used or executed in Avatar's 605 autonomous operation, and Modification Interface 130 may use the anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 to modify Avatar 605 to effect Avatar's 605 autonomous operation. In another example, in Application Programs 18 that do not comprise Avatar 605 or do not rely on Avatar 605 for their operation, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 may determine anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 to be used or executed in Application Program's 18 autonomous operation, and Modification Interface 130 may use the anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 to modify Application Program 18 to effect Application Program's 18 autonomous operation.

In the above sample code, instrumented call to Modification Interface's 130 function such as modifyAvatar( ), modifyApplication( ), etc. can be placed before or after any statement of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 such as after Statement2. A similar call to Modification Interface's 130 function that modifies Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be placed before or after some or all functions/routines/subroutines, some or all lines of code, some or all statements, some or all instructions or instruction sets, some or all basic blocks, and/or some or all other code segments of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18. One or more calls to functions that modify Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be placed anywhere in Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 code and can be executed at any points in Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 execution. A function that modifies Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 may include Artificial Intelligence Unit 110-determined anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 to be used or executed in Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 autonomous operation. In some embodiments, the previously described obtaining Avatar's 605 and/or Application Program's 18 instruction sets, data, and/or other information as well as modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented in a single function that performs both tasks such as traceAndModifyAvatar( ), traceAndModifyApplication( ), etc.

In some embodiments, various computing systems and/or platforms may provide native tools for modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element. Independent vendors may provide tools with similar functionalities that can be utilized across different platforms. These tools enable a wide range of techniques or capabilities such as instrumentation, self-modifying code capabilities, dynamic code capabilities, branching, code rewriting, code overwriting, hot swapping, accessing and/or modifying objects or data structures, accessing and/or modifying functions/routines/subroutines, accessing and/or modifying variable or parameter values, accessing and/or modifying processor registers, accessing and/or modifying inputs and/or outputs, providing runtime memory access, and/or other capabilities. One of ordinary skill in art will understand that, while all possible variations of the techniques for modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing element are too voluminous to describe, these techniques are within the scope of this disclosure.

In one example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through utilizing metaprogramming techniques, which include applications that can self-modify or that can create, modify, and/or manipulate other applications. Self-modifying code, dynamic code, reflection, and/or other techniques can be used to facilitate metaprogramming. In some aspects, metaprogramming is facilitated through a programming language's ability to access and manipulate the internals of the runtime engine directly or via an API. In other aspects, metaprogramming is facilitated through dynamic execution of expressions (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) that can be created and/or executed at runtime. In yet other aspects, metaprogramming is facilitated through application modification tools, which can perform modifications on an application regardless of whether the application's programming language enables metaprogramming capabilities. Some operating systems may protect an application loaded into memory by restricting access to the loaded application. This protection mechanism can be circumvented by utilizing operating system's, processor's, and/or other low level features or commands to unprotect the loaded application. For example, a self-modifying application may modify the in-memory image of itself. To do so, the application can obtain the in-memory address of its code. The application may then change the operating system's or platform's protection on this memory range allowing it to modify the code (i.e. insert anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). In addition to a self-modifying application, one application can utilize similar technique to modify another application. Linux mprotect command or similar commands of other operating systems can be used to change protection (i.e. unprotect, etc.) for a region of memory, for example. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through native capabilities of dynamic, interpreted, and/or scripting programming languages and/or platforms. Most of these languages and/or platforms can perform functionalities at runtime that static programming languages may perform during compilation. Dynamic, interpreted, and/or scripting languages provide native functionalities such as self-modification of code, dynamic code, extending the application, adding new code, extending objects and definitions, and/or other functionalities that can modify an application's execution and/or functionality at runtime. Examples of dynamic, interpreted, and/or scripting languages include Lisp, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Smalltalk, Tcl, VBScript, and/or others. Similar functionalities can also be provided in languages such as Java, C, and/or others using reflection. Reflection includes the ability of an application to examine and modify the structure and behavior of the application at runtime. For example, JavaScript can modify its own code as it runs by utilizing Function object constructor as follows:

myFunc=new Function(arg1, arg2, argN, functionBody);

The sample code above causes a new function object to be created with the specified arguments and body. The body and/or arguments of the new function object may include new instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). The new function can be invoked as any other function in the original code. In another example, JavaScript can utilize eval method that accepts a string of JavaScript statements (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) and execute them as if they were within the original code. An example of how eval method can be used to modify an application includes the following JavaScript code:

anticipatoryInstr=‘AvatarmoveForward(14);’;

if (anticipatoryInstr !=“ ” && anticipatoryInstr !=null)

{

-   -   eval(anticipatoryInstr);

}

In the sample code above, Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 may generate anticipatory Instruction Set 526 (i.e. ‘AvatarmoveForward(14)’ for moving Avatar 605 forward 14 units, etc.) and save it in anticipatoryInstr variable, which eval method can then execute. Lisp is another example of dynamic, interpreted, and/or scripting language that includes similar capabilities as the aforementioned JavaScript. For example, Lisp's compile command can create a function at runtime, eval command may parse and evaluate an expression at runtime, and exec command may execute a given instruction set (i.e. string, etc.) at runtime. In another example, dynamic as well as some non-dynamic languages may provide macros, which combine code introspection and/or eval capabilities. In some aspects, macros can access inner workings of the compiler, interpreter, virtual machine, runtime environment/engine, and/or other components of the computing platform enabling the definition of language-like constructs and/or generation of a complete program or sections thereof. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through dynamic code, dynamic class loading, reflection, and/or other functionalities of a programming language or platform. In static applications or static programming, a class can be defined and/or loaded at compile time. Conversely, in dynamic applications or dynamic programming, a class can be loaded into a running environment at runtime. For example, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) may not require that all classes be loaded at compile time and class loading can occur when a class is first referenced at runtime. Dynamic class loading enables inclusion or injection of on-demand code and/or functionalities at runtime. System provided or custom class loaders may enable loading of classes into the running environment. Custom class loaders can be created to enable custom functionalities such as, for example, specifying a remote location from which a class can be loaded. In addition to dynamic loading of a pre-defined class, a class can also be created at runtime. In some aspects, a class source code can be created at runtime. A compiler such as javac, com.sun.tools.javac.Main, javax.tools, javax.tools.JavaCompiler, and/or other packages can then be utilized to compile the source code. Javac, com.sun.tools.javac.Main, javax.tools, javax.tools.JavaCompiler, and/or other packages may include an interface to invoke Java compiler from within a running application. A Java compiler may accept source code in a file, string, object (i.e. Java String, StringBuffer, CharSequence, etc.) and/or other source, and may generate Java bytecode (i.e. class file, etc.). Once compiled, a class loader can then load the compiled class into the running environment. In other aspects, a tool such as Javaassist (i.e. Java programming assistant) can be utilized to enable an application to create or modify a class at runtime. Javassist may include a Java library that provides functionalities to create and/or manipulate Java bytecode of an application as well as reflection capabilities. Javassist may provide source-level and bytecode-level APIs. Using the source-level API, a class can be created and/or modified using only source code, which Javassist may compile seamlessly on the fly. Javassist source-level API can therefore be used without knowledge of Java bytecode specification. Bytecode-level API enables creating and/or editing a class bytecode directly. In yet other aspects, similar functionalities to the aforementioned ones may be provided in tools such as Apache Commons BCEL (Byte Code Engineering Library), ObjectWeb ASM, CGLIB (Byte Code Generation Library), and/or others. Once a dynamic code or class is created and loaded, reflection in high-level programming languages such as Java and/or others can be used to manipulate or change the runtime behavior of an application. Examples of reflective programming languages and/or platforms include Java, JavaScript, Smalltalk, Lisp, Python, .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), Tcl, Ruby, Perl, PHP, Scheme, PL/SQL, and/or others. Reflection can be used in an application to access, examine, modify, and/or manipulate a loaded class and/or its elements. Reflection in Java can be implemented by utilizing a reflection API such as java.lang.Reflect package. The reflection API provides functionalities such as, for example, loading or reloading a class, instantiating a new instance of a class, determining class and instance methods, invoking class and instance methods, accessing and manipulating a class, fields, methods and constructors, determining the modifiers for fields, methods, classes, and interfaces, and/or other functionalities. The above described dynamic code, dynamic class loading, reflection, and/or other functionalities are similarly provided in the .NET platform through its tools such as, for example, System.CodeDom.Compiler namespace, System.Reflection.Emit namespace, and/or other native or other .NET tools. Other platforms in addition to Java and .NET may provide similar tools and/or functionalities. In some designs, dynamic code, dynamic class loading, reflection, and/or other functionalities can be used to facilitate modification of an application by inserting or injecting instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) into a running application. For example, an existing or dynamically created class comprising ACAAO Unit 100 functionalities can be loaded into a running application through manual, automatic, or dynamic instrumentation. Once the class is created and loaded, an instance of ACAAO Unit 100 class may be constructed. The instance of ACAAO Unit 100 can then take or exert control of the application and/or implement alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) at any point in the application's execution. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through independent tools that can be utilized across different platforms. Such tools provide instrumentation and/or other capabilities on more than one platform or computing system and may facilitate application modification or insertion of instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). Examples of these tools include Pin, DynamoRIO, DynInst, Kprobes, KernInst, OpenPAT, DTrace, SystemTap, and/or others. In some aspects, Pin and/or any of its elements, methods, and/or techniques can be utilized for dynamic instrumentation. Pin can perform instrumentation by taking control of an application after it loads into memory. Pin may insert itself into the address space of an executing application enabling it to take control. Pin JIT compiler can then compile and implement alternate code (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). Pin provides an extensive API for instrumentation at several abstraction levels. Pin supports two modes of instrumentation, JIT mode and probe mode. JIT mode uses a just-in-time compiler to insert instrumentation and recompile program code while probe mode uses code trampolines for instrumentation. Pin was designed for architecture and operating system independence. In other aspects, KernInst and/or any of its elements, methods, and/or techniques can be utilized for dynamic instrumentation. KernInst includes an instrumentation framework designed for dynamically inserting code into a running kernel of an operating system. KernInst implements probe-based dynamic instrumentation where code can be inserted, changed, and/or removed at will. Kerninst API enables client tools to construct their own tools for dynamic kernel instrumentation to suit variety of purposes such as insertion of alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). Client tools can communicate with KernInst over a network (i.e. internet, wireless network, LAW, WAN, etc). Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through utilizing operating system's native tools or capabilities such as Unix ptrace command. Ptrace includes a system call that may enable one process to control another allowing the controller to inspect and manipulate the internal state of its target. Ptrace can be used to modify a running application such as modify an application with alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). By attaching to an application using the ptrace call, the controlling application can gain extensive control over the operation of its target. This may include manipulation of its instruction sets, execution path, file descriptors, memory, registers, and/or other components. Ptrace can single-step through the target's code, observe and intercept system calls and their results, manipulate the target's signal handlers, receive and send signals on the target's behalf, and/or perform other operations within the target application. Ptrace's ability to write into the target application's memory space enables the controller to modify the running code of the target application. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through utilizing just-in-time (JIT) compiling. JIT compilation (also known as dynamic translation, dynamic compilation, etc.) includes compilation performed during an application's execution (i.e. runtime, etc.). A code can be compiled when it is about to be executed, and it may be cached and reused later without the need for additional compilation. In some aspects, a JIT compiler can convert source code or byte code into machine code. In other aspects, a JIT compiler can convert source code into byte code. JIT compiling may be performed directly in memory. For example, JIT compiler can output machine code directly into memory and immediately execute it. Platforms such as Java, .NET, and/or others may implement JIT compilation as their native functionality. Platform independent tools for custom system design may include JIT compilation functionalities as well. In some aspects, JIT compilation includes redirecting application's execution to a JIT compiler from a specific entry point. For example, Pin can insert its JIT compiler into the address space of an application. Once execution is redirected to it, JIT compiler may receive alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) immediately before their compilation. The JIT compiled instruction sets may be stored in memory or another repository from where they can be retrieved and executed. Alternatively, for example, JIT compiler can create a copy of the original application code or a segment thereof and insert alternate code (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) before compiling the modified code copy. In some aspects, JIT compiler may include a specialized memory such as fast cache memory dedicated to JIT compiler functionalities from which the modified code can be fetched rapidly. JIT compilation and/or any compilation in general may include compilation, interpretation, or other translation into machine code, bytecode, and/or other formats or types of code. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through dynamic recompilation. Dynamic recompilation includes recompiling an application or part thereof during execution. An application can be modified with alternate features or instruction sets that may take effect after recompilation. Dynamic recompilation may be practical in various types of applications including object oriented, event driven, forms based, and/or other applications. In a typical windows-based application, most of the action after initial startup occurs in response to user or system events such as moving the mouse, selecting a menu option, typing text, running a scheduled task, making a network connection, and/or other events when an event handler is called to perform an operation appropriate for the event. Generally, when no events are being generated, the application is idle. For example, when an event occurs and an appropriate event handler is called, instrumentation can be implemented in the application's source code to insert alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) at which point the modified source code can be recompiled and/or executed. In some aspects, the state of the application can be saved before recompiling its modified source code so that the application may continue from its prior state. Saving the application's state can be achieved by saving its variables, data structures, objects, location of its current instruction, and/or other necessary information in environmental variables, memory, or other repositories where they can be accessed once the application is recompiled. In other aspects, application's variables, data structures, objects, address of its current instruction, and/or other necessary information can be saved in a repository such as file, database, or other repository accessible to the application after recompilation of its source code. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through modifying or redirecting application's execution path. Generally, an application can be loaded into memory and the flow of execution proceeds from one instruction set to the next until the end of the application. An application may include a branching mechanism that can be driven by keyboard or other input devices, system events, and/or other computing system components or events that may impact the execution path. The execution path can also be altered by an external application through acquiring control of execution and/or redirecting execution to a function, routine/subroutine, or an alternate code segment at any point in the application's execution. A branch, jump, or other mechanism can be utilized to implement the redirected execution. For example, a jump instruction can be inserted at a specific point in an application's execution to redirect execution to an alternate code segment. A jump instruction set may include, for example, an unconditional branch, which always results in branching, or a conditional branch, which may or may not result in branching depending on a condition. When executing an application, a computer may fetch and execute instruction sets in sequence until it encounters a branch instruction set. If the instruction set is an unconditional branch, or it is conditional and the condition is satisfied, the computer may fetch its next instruction set from a different instruction set sequence or code segment as specified by the branch instruction set. After the execution of the alternate code segment, control may be redirected back to the original jump point or to another point in the application. For example, modifying an application can be implemented by redirecting execution of an application to alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). Alternate instruction sets can be pre-compiled, pre-interpreted, or otherwise pre-translated and ready for execution. Alternate instruction sets can also be JIT compiled, JIT interpreted, or otherwise JIT translated before execution. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through assembly language. Assembly language instructions may be directly related with the architecture's machine instructions as previously described. Assembly language can, therefore, be a powerful tool for implementing direct hardware (i.e. processor registers, memory, etc.) access and manipulations as well as access and manipulations of specialized processor features or instructions. Assembly language can also be a powerful tool for implementing low-level embedded systems, real-time systems, interrupt handlers, self or dynamically modifying code, and/or other applications. Specifically, for instance, self or dynamically modifying code that can be used to facilitate modifying of an application can be seamlessly implemented using assembly language. For example, using assembly language, instruction sets can be dynamically created and loaded into memory similar to the ones that a compiler may generate. Furthermore, using assembly language, memory space of a loaded application can be accessed to modify (including rewrite, overwrite, etc.) original instruction sets or to insert jumps or branches to alternate code elsewhere in memory. Some operating systems may implement protection from changes to applications loaded into memory. Operating system's, processor's, or other low level features or commands can be used to unprotect the protected locations in memory before the change as previously described. Alternatively, a pointer that may reside in a memory location where it could be readily altered can be utilized where the pointer may reference alternate code. In one example, assembly language can be utilized to write alternate code (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.) into a location in memory outside a running application's memory space. Assembly language can then be utilized to redirect the application's execution to the alternate code by inserting a jump or branch into the application's in-memory code, by redirecting program counter, or by other technique. In another example, assembly language can be utilized to overwrite or rewrite the entire or part of an application's in-memory code with alternate code. In some aspects, high-level programming languages can call an external assembly language program to facilitate application modification as previously described. In yet other aspects, relatively low-level programming languages such as C may allow embedding assembly language directly in their source code such as, for example, using asm keyword of C. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

In a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through binary rewriting. Binary rewriting tools and/or techniques may modify an application's executable. In some aspects, modification can be minor such as in the case of optimization where the original executable's functionality is kept. In other aspects, modification may change the application's functionality such as by inserting alternate code (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). Examples of binary rewriting tools include SecondWrite, ATOM, DynamoRIO, Purify, Pin, EEL, DynInst, PLTO, and/or others. Binary rewriting may include disassembly, analysis, and/or modification of target application. Since binary rewriting works directly on machine code executable, it is independent of source language, compiler, virtual machine (if one is utilized), and/or other higher level abstraction layers. Also, binary rewriting tools can perform application modifications without access to original source code. Binary rewriting tools include static rewriters, dynamic rewriters, minimally-invasive rewriters, and/or others. Static binary rewriters can modify an executable when the executable is not in use (i.e. not running). The rewritten executable may then be executed including any new or modified functionality. Dynamic binary rewriters can modify an executable during its execution, thereby enabling modification of an application's functionality at runtime. In some aspects, dynamic rewriters can be used for instrumentation or selective modifications such as insertion of alternate code (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.), and/or for other runtime transformations or modifications. For example, some dynamic rewriters can be configured to intercept an application's execution at indirect control transfers and insert instrumentation or other application modifying code. Minimally-invasive rewriters may keep the original machine code to the greatest extent possible. They support limited modifications such as insertion of jumps into and out of instrumented code. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

Referring to FIG. 29, in a further example, modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605 and/or Application Program 18 can be implemented through modification of processor registers, memory, or other computing system components. In some aspects, modifying execution and/or functionality of Processor 11 can be implemented by redirecting Processor's 11 execution to alternate instruction sets (i.e. anticipatory Instruction Sets 526, etc.). In one example, Program Counter 211 may hold or point to a memory address of the next instruction set that will be executed by Processor 11. Artificial Intelligence Unit 110 may generate anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 and store them in Memory 12 as previously described. Modification Interface 130 may then change Program Counter 211 to point to the location in Memory 12 where anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 are stored. The anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 can then be fetched from the location in Memory 12 pointed to by the modified Program Counter 211 and loaded into Instruction Register 212 for decoding and execution. Once anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 are executed, Modification Interface 130 may change Program Counter 211 to point to the last instruction set before the redirection or to any other instruction set. In other aspects, anticipatory Instruction Sets 526 can be loaded directly into Instruction Register 212. As previously described, examples of other processor or computing system components that can be used during an instruction cycle include memory address register (MAR), memory data register (MDR), data registers, address registers, general purpose registers (GPRs), conditional registers, floating point registers (FPRs), constant registers, special purpose registers, machine-specific registers, Register Array 214, Arithmetic Logic Unit 215, control unit, and/or other circuits or components. Any of the aforementioned processor registers, memory, or other computing system components can be accessed and/or modified to facilitate the disclosed functionalities. In some embodiments, processor interrupt may be issued to facilitate such access and/or modification. In some designs, modifying execution and/or functionality of Processor 11 can be implemented in a program, combination of programs and hardware, or purely hardware system. Dedicated hardware may be built to perform modifying execution and/or functionality of Processor 11 with marginal or no impact to computing overhead. Other platforms, tools, and/or techniques may provide equivalent or similar functionalities as the above described ones.

Other additional techniques or elements can be utilized as needed for modifying execution and/or functionality of Avatar 605, Application Program 18, Processor 11, and/or other processing elements, or some of the disclosed techniques or elements can be excluded, or a combination thereof can be utilized in alternate embodiments. As an avatar (i.e. Avatar 605, etc.) may be part of an application (i.e. Application Program 18, etc.), it should be noted that modifying execution and/or functionality of an avatar may include same or similar techniques as the aforementioned modifying execution and/or functionality of an application, and vice versa.

Referring to FIG. 30, the illustration shows an embodiment of a method 9100 for learning and/or using an avatar's circumstances for autonomous avatar operation. In some aspects, the method can be used on a computing device or system to enable learning of an avatar's operation in circumstances including objects with various properties and enable autonomous avatar operation in similar circumstances. Method 9100 may include any action or operation of any of the disclosed methods such as method 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500, 9600, and/or others. Additional steps, actions, or operations can be included as needed, or some of the disclosed ones can be optionally omitted, or a different combination or order thereof can be implemented in alternate embodiments of method 9100.

At step 9105, a first collection of object representations is received. A collection of object representations (i.e. Collection of Object Representations 525, etc.) may include one or more object representations (i.e. Object Representations 625, etc.), object properties (i.e. Object Properties 630, etc.), and/or other elements or information. In some designs, an object representation includes a representation of an object (i.e. Object 615, etc.) in an avatar's (i.e. Avatar's 605, etc.) surrounding within an application (i.e. Application Program 18, etc.). In other designs, an object representation includes a representation of an object of an application. As such, an object representation may include any information related to an object. In further designs, an object representation may include or be replaced with an object itself, in which case the object representation as an element can be optionally omitted. In some embodiments, a collection of object representations may include one or more object representations, object properties, and/or other elements or information obtained in an avatar's surrounding at a particular time. A collection of object representations may, therefore, include knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of an avatar's circumstances including objects with various properties at a particular time. In other embodiments, where an application does not comprise an avatar or rely on an avatar for its operation, a collection of object representations may include one or more object representations, object properties, and/or other elements or information obtained in an application or part thereof at a particular time. A collection of object representations may, therefore, include knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of an application's circumstances including objects with various properties at a particular time. In some designs, a collection of object representations may include or be associated with a time stamp (not shown), order (not shown), or other time related information. In further embodiments, a collection of object representations may include or be substituted with a stream of collections of object representations, and vice versa. Therefore, the terms collection of object representations and stream of collections of object representations may be used interchangeably depending on context. A stream of collections of object representations may include one collection of object representations or a group, sequence, or other plurality of collections of object representations. In some aspects, a stream of collections of object representations may include one or more collections of object representations, and/or other elements or information obtained in an avatar's surrounding over time. A stream of collections of object representations may, therefore, include knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of an avatar's circumstances including objects with various properties over time. As circumstances including objects with various properties in an avatar's surrounding change (i.e. objects and/or their properties change, move, act, transform, etc.) over time, this change may be captured in a stream of collections of object representations. In further embodiments, where an application does not comprise an avatar or rely on an avatar for its operation, a stream of collections of object representations may include one or more collections of object representations, and/or other elements or information obtained in an application or part thereof over time. A stream of collections of object representations may, therefore, include knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of an application's circumstances including objects with various properties over time. In some designs, each collection of object representations in a stream may include or be associated with the aforementioned time stamp, order, or other time related information. Examples of objects include models of a person, animal, tree, rock, building, vehicle, and/or others in a context of a computer game, virtual world, 3D or 2D graphics application, and/or others. More generally, examples of objects include a 2D model, a 3D model, a 2D shape (i.e. point, line, square, rectangle, circle, triangle, etc.), a 3D shape (i.e. cube, sphere, etc.), a graphical user interface (GUI) element, a form element (i.e. text field, radio button, push button, check box, etc.), a data or database element, a spreadsheet element, a link, a picture, a text (i.e. character, word, etc.), a number, and/or others in a context of a web browser, a media application, a word processing application, a spreadsheet application, a database application, a forms-based application, an operating system, a device/system control application, and/or others. In some aspects, any part of an object can be identified as an object itself. For instance, instead of or in addition to identifying a building as an object, a window, door, roof, and/or other parts of the building can be identified as objects. In general, an object may include any object or part thereof that can be obtained or recognized. Examples of object properties include existence of an object, type of an object (i.e. person, animal, tree, rock, building, vehicle, etc.), identity of an object (i.e. name, identifier, etc.), distance of an object, bearing/angle of an object, location of an object (i.e. distance and bearing/angle from a known point, coordinates, etc.), shape/size of an object (i.e. scale, height, width, depth, computer model, etc.), activity of an object (i.e. motion, gestures, etc.), and/or other properties of an object. In general, an object property may include any attribute of an object (i.e. existence of an object, type of an object, identity of an object, shape/size of an object, etc.), any relationship of an object with an avatar, other objects, or the environment (i.e. distance of an object, bearing/angle of an object, friend/foe relationship, etc.), and/or other information related to an object. In some designs, objects and/or their properties can be obtained from an engine, environment, or other system used to implement an application. For instance, objects and/or their properties can be obtained by utilizing functions for providing properties or other information on objects of an engine, environment, or other system used to implement an application. Examples of such engines, environments, or other systems include Unity 3D Engine, Unreal Engine, Torque 3D Engine, and/or others. In other designs, objects and/or their properties can be obtained by accessing and/or reading a scene graph or other data structure used for organizing objects in a particular application, or in an engine, environment, or other system used to implement an application. In other designs, objects and/or their properties can be detected or recognized from one or more pictures depicting views of an avatar's surrounding or views of an application.

In some aspects, an instruction set (i.e. Instruction Set 526, etc.) may be used or executed for operating an avatar (i.e. Avatar 605, etc.) of an application (i.e. Application Program 18, etc.). In other aspects, where an application does not comprise an avatar or rely on an avatar for its operation, an instruction set may be used or executed for operating the application. Therefore, a reference to an instruction set for operating an avatar includes or can be substituted with a reference to an instruction set for operating an application depending on context. In some embodiments, an instruction set can be used or executed by a processor (i.e. Processor 11, etc.) in operating an avatar and/or application. Operating an avatar and/or application includes performing or causing any operations on/by/with the avatar and/or application. In some designs, an instruction set can be received from an avatar, application, processor, and/or other processing element as the instruction set is being used or executed. In other designs, an instruction set can be received from an avatar, application, processor, and/or other processing element before or after the instruction set is used or executed. In further designs, an instruction set can be received from a running avatar, running application, running processor, and/or other running processing element. As such, an instruction set can be received at runtime. In some embodiments, receiving an instruction set includes tracing or profiling an avatar, application, processor, and/other processing elements. Tracing or profiling may include adding trace code or instrumentation to an avatar (i.e. avatar's object code, etc.) or application, and/or outputting trace information (i.e. instruction sets, etc.) to a receiving target. In some aspects, instrumentation can be performed in source code, bytecode, compiled code, interpreted code, translated code, machine code, and/or other code. In other aspects, instrumentation can be performed in various elements of a computing system such as memory, virtual machine, runtime engine/environment, operating system, compiler, interpreter, translator, processor registers, and/or other elements.

In further embodiments, receiving an instruction set includes accessing and/or reading values, variables, parameters, and/or other data or information. One or more instruction sets may temporally correspond to a collection of object representations. In general, one or more instruction sets that temporally correspond to a collection of object representations enable structuring knowledge of an avatar's and/or application's operation at or around the time of generating the collection of object representations. Such functionality enables spontaneous or seamless learning of an avatar's and/or application's operation in circumstances including objects with various properties as the avatar and/or application are operated in real time. Receiving comprises any action or operation by or for an Acquisition Interface 120, Instruction Set 526, and/or other disclosed elements.

In some aspects, individual collections of object representations can be correlated with one or more instruction sets. In other aspects, streams of collections of object representations can be correlated with one or more instruction sets. In further aspects, individual collections of object representations or streams of collections of object representations can be correlated with the aforementioned temporally corresponding instruction sets. In further aspects, a collection of object representations or stream of collections of object representations may not be correlated with any instruction sets. Correlating may include structuring or generating a knowledge cell (i.e. Knowledge Cell 800, etc.) and storing one or more collections of object representations correlated with any instruction sets into the knowledge cell. Therefore, a knowledge cell may include any data structure or arrangement that can facilitate such storing. A knowledge cell includes knowledge (i.e. unit of knowledge, etc.) of how an avatar and/or application operated in a circumstance including objects with various properties. In some designs, extra information (i.e. Extra Info 527, etc.) can optionally be used to facilitate enhanced comparisons or decision making in autonomous avatar and/or application operation where applicable. Therefore, any collection of object representations, instruction set, and/or other element may include or be correlated with extra information. Extra information may include any information useful in comparisons or decision making performed in autonomous avatar and/or application operation. Examples of extra information include time information, location information, computed information, visual information, acoustic information, contextual information, and/or other information.

Correlating comprises any action or operation by or for a Knowledge Structuring Unit 520, Knowledge Cell 800, and/or other disclosed elements.

At step 9120, the first collection of object representations correlated with the first one or more instruction sets for operating the avatar are stored. A collection of object representations correlated with one or more instruction sets may be part of a stored plurality of collections of object representations correlated with one or more instruction sets. Collections of object representations correlated with any instruction sets can be stored in a memory unit or other repository. The aforementioned knowledge cells comprising collections of object representations correlated with any instruction sets can be used in/as neurons, nodes, vertices, or other elements in any of the data structures or arrangements (i.e. neural network, graph, sequence, collection of knowledge cells, etc.) used for storing the knowledge of an avatar's and/or application's operation in circumstances including objects with various properties. Knowledge cells may be interconnected, interrelated, or interlinked into knowledge structures using statistical, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and/or other models or techniques.

At step 9130, the new collection of object representations is compared with the first collection of object representations. Comparing one collection of object representations with another collection of object representations may include comparing at least a portion of one collection of object representations with at least a portion of the other collection of object representations. In some embodiments, collections of object representations may be compared individually.

In some designs, one or more corresponding (i.e. similarly ordered, temporally related, etc.) collections of object representations from the compared streams of collections of object representations can be compared. In other designs, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and/or other techniques can be utilized for comparison and/or aligning temporal sequences (i.e. streams of collections of object representations, etc.) that may vary in time or speed.

At step 9135, a determination is made that there is at least a partial match between the new collection of object representations and the first collection of object representations. In some embodiments, determining at least a partial match between individually compared collections of object representations includes determining that a similarity between one or more portions of one collection of object representations and one or more portions of another collection of object representations exceeds a similarity threshold. In other embodiments, determining at least a partial match between individually compared collections of object representations includes determining at least a partial match between one or more portions of one collection of object representations and one or more portions of another collection of object representations. In further embodiments, determining at least a partial match between individually compared collections of object representations includes determining substantial similarity between one or more portions of one collection of object representations and one or more portions of another collection of object representations. A portion of a collection of object representations may include an object representation, an object property, and/or other portion or element of the collection of object representations.

In some aspects, type of object representations, importance of object representations, and/or other elements or techniques relating to object representations can be utilized for determining similarity using object representations. In further aspects, some of the object representations can be omitted in determining similarity using object representations depending on implementation. In further embodiments, determining a match or substantial match between compared object representations includes determining that the number or percentage of matching or substantially matching object properties of the compared object representations exceeds a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, etc.) or a threshold percentage (i.e. 55%, 61%, 78%, 82%, 99%, etc.). In some aspects, categories of object properties, importance of object properties, and/or other elements or techniques relating to object properties can be utilized for determining similarity using object properties. In further aspects, some of the object properties can be omitted in determining similarity using object properties depending on implementation. In some designs, substantial similarity of individually compared collections of object representations can be achieved when a similarity between one or more portions of one collection of object representations and one or more portions of another collection of object representations exceeds a similarity threshold. In other designs, substantial similarity of individually compared collections of object representations can be achieved when the number or percentage of matching or substantially matching object representations of the compared collections of object representations exceeds a threshold number (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 7, 18, etc.) or threshold percentage (i.e. 41%, 62%, 79%, 85%, 93%, etc.).

In some aspects, importance of collections of object representations, order of collections of object representations, and/or other elements or techniques relating to collections of object representations can be utilized for determining similarity of collectively compared collections of object representations or streams of collections of object representations. In further aspects, some of the collections of object representations can be omitted in determining similarity of collectively compared collections of object representations or streams of collections of object representations depending on implementation. In some designs, a threshold for a number or percentage similarity can be used to determine a match or substantial match between any of the aforementioned elements. Any text, number, and/or other data similarity determination techniques can be used in any of the aforementioned similarity determinations. A partial match of any of the compared elements may include a substantially or otherwise similar match, and vice versa. Therefore, these terms may be used interchangeably herein depending on context. Although, substantial similarity or substantial match is frequently used herein, it should be understood that any level of similarity, however high or low, may be utilized as defined by the rules (i.e. thresholds, etc.) for similarity. Any combination of the aforementioned and/or other elements or techniques can be utilized in alternate embodiments.

Therefore, a reference to an instruction set to be used or executed for autonomous operating of an avatar includes or can be substituted with a reference to an instruction set to be used or executed for autonomous operating of an application depending on context. In some aspects, instruction sets anticipated or determined to be used or executed in an avatar's and/or application's autonomous operation may be referred to as anticipatory instruction sets, alternate instruction sets, and/or other suitable name or reference. Therefore, these terms can be used interchangeably herein depending on context.

Referring to FIG. 36, in some exemplary embodiments, Application Program 18 may be or include a 3D Computer Game 18 a. Examples of 3D Computer Game 18 a include a first shooter game, a flight simulation, a driving simulation, and/or others. Avatar 605 may be or include Soldier 605 a within 3D Computer Game 18 a. Soldier 605 a can be controlled by User 50 (i.e. game player, etc.) through inputting operating directions via Human-machine Interface 23 such as a game controller, keyboard, joystick, or other input device. For instance, responsive to User's 50 manipulating one or more game controller elements, Soldier 605 a may be caused to move, maneuver, shoot, jump, and/or perform other operations. Computing Device 70 may include or be coupled to ACAAO Unit 100. ACAAO Unit 100 can obtain objects (i.e. Opponent 615 aa, Dog 615 ab, Pedestrian 615 ac, etc.) and/or their properties in Soldier's 605 a surrounding within 3D Computer Game 18 a. ACAAO Unit 100 may create or generate one or more (i.e. stream, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, and/or other elements or information representing Objects 615 in Soldier's 605 a surrounding. ACAAO Unit 100 can also obtain Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Soldier 605 a. ACAAO Unit 100 can also optionally obtain any Extra Info 527 (i.e. time, location, computed, visual, acoustic, contextual, and/or other information, etc.) related to Soldier's 605 a operation. As User 50 operates Soldier 605 a in circumstances including objects with various properties as shown, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn Soldier's 605 a operation in these circumstances by correlating Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Soldier's 605 a surrounding with one or more Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Soldier 605 a. Any Extra Info 527 related to Soldier's 605 a operation may also optionally be correlated with Collections of Object Representations 525. ACAAO Unit 100 can store this knowledge into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). In the future, ACAAO Unit 110 may compare incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Soldier's 605 a surrounding with previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 including optionally using any Extra Info 527 for enhanced decision making. If substantially similar or at least a partial match is found or determined, ACAAO Unit 110 may cause the Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 to be executed, thereby enabling autonomous operation of Soldier 605 a in similar circumstances as in previously learned ones. For instance, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn User 50-directed shooting at Opponent 615 aa by Soldier 605 a in a circumstance that includes Opponent 615 aa, Dog 615 ab, Pedestrian 615 ac, and/or other Objects 615 among which Soldier 605 a may need to maneuver and/or with which Soldier 605 a may need to interact, as shown. In the future, when a circumstance that includes one or more Objects 615 with similar Object Properties 630 is encountered, ACAAO Unit 100 may implement the shooting at Opponent 615 aa by Soldier 605 a autonomously. In some designs, 3D Computer Game 18 a may include elevated Objects 615 such as flying objects (i.e. flying animals, aircraft, etc.), objects on hills or mountains, objects on buildings, and/or others in which case altitudinal information related to distance and bearing/angle of Objects 615 relative to Soldier 605 a can be obtained, learned, and used. In other designs, the street (not enumerated), parts thereof (i.e. curbs, sidewalks, etc.), and/or objects thereon (i.e. buildings, etc.) can be obtained as Objects 615 themselves, which may be learned and used.

In some embodiments, ACAAO Unit 100 may reside on Server 96 accessible over Network 95 as previously described. In such embodiments, any number of Computing Devices 70, Processors 11, 3D Computer Games 18 a, and/or other elements may connect to such remote ACAAO Unit 100 and the remote ACAAO Unit 100 may learn operations of their Soldiers 605 a in circumstances including objects with various properties. In turn, any number of Computing Devices 70, Processors 11, 3D Computer Games 18 a, and/or other elements can utilize the remote ACAAO Unit 100 for autonomous operation of their Soldiers 605 a. For example, multiple Users 50 (i.e. game players, etc.) may operate their Soldiers 605 a in 3D Computer Game 18 a running on their respective Computing Devices 70 where the Computing Devices 70 and/or elements thereof may be configured to transmit Soldiers' 605 a operations in circumstances including objects with various properties to a remote ACAAO Unit 100. Such remote ACAAO Unit 100 enables learning of the game players' collective knowledge of operating Soldier 605 a in circumstances including objects with various properties. Any of the disclosed elements such as Artificial Intelligence Unit 110, Knowledgebase 530, and/or others can reside on Server 96, and any combination of local and remote elements can be implemented in alternate embodiments.

In some embodiments, a combination of ACAAO Unit 100 and other systems and/or techniques can be utilized to implement Soldier's 605 a operation. In one example, ACAAO Unit 100 can be a primary or preferred system for implementing Soldier's 605 a operation. While operating autonomously under the control of ACAAO Unit 100, Soldier 605 a may encounter a circumstance including objects with various properties that has not been encountered or learned before. In such situations, User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may take control of Soldier's 605 a operation. ACAAO Unit 100 may take control again when Soldier 605 a encounters a previously learned circumstance including objects with various properties. Naturally, ACAAO Unit 100 can learn Soldier's 605 a operation in circumstances while User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system is in control of Soldier 605 a, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for future involvement of User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system. In another example, User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system can be a primary or preferred system for implementing Soldier's 605 a operation. While operating under the control of User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system, User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may release control to ACAAO Unit 100 for any reason (i.e. User 50 gets tired or distracted, non-ACAAO system gets stuck or cannot make a decision, etc.), at which point Soldier 605 a can be controlled by ACAAO Unit 100. In some designs, ACAAO Unit 100 may take control in certain special circumstances including objects with various properties where ACAAO Unit 100 offers superior performance even though User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may generally be preferred. Once Soldier 605 a leaves such special circumstances, ACAAO Unit 100 may release control to User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system. In general, ACAAO Unit 100 can take control from, share control with, or release control to User 50, non-ACAAO system, and/or other system or process at any time, in any circumstances, and remain in control for any period of time as needed.

In some embodiments, ACAAO Unit 100 may control one or more elements of Soldier 605 a while User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may control other one or more elements of Soldier 605 a. For example, ACAAO Unit 100 may control Soldier's 605 a movement, while User 50 and/or non-ACAAO system may control Soldier's 605 a aiming and shooting. Any other combination of controlling various elements or functions of Soldier 605 a by ACAAO Unit 100, User 50, and/or non-ACAAO system can be implemented.

In some embodiments, ACAAO Unit 100 enables learning of a particular User's 50 (i.e. game player's, etc.) knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a within 3D Game Application 18 a. In some aspects, learning of a particular User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a includes learning the User's 50 directing or operating Soldier 605 a in circumstances including objects with various properties. In one example, one User 50 may shoot an opponent while another User 50 may strike the opponent with a sword. In another example, one User 50 may jump over an obstacle while another User 50 may move around the obstacle, and so on. The knowledge of User's 50 methodology or style of operating Soldier 605 a can be used to enable personalized autonomous operation of Soldier 605 a specific to a particular User 50. Therefore, ACAAO-enabled Soldier 605 a can exemplify User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a as learned from User 50. In some aspects, this functionality enables one or more ACAAO-enabled Soldiers 605 a to be utilized in 3D Computer Game 18 a to assist User 50 in defeating an opponent or achieving other goals. In one example, User 50 can utilize a team of ACAAO-enabled Soldiers 605 a each of which may exemplify User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a. In one instance, ACAAO-enabled Soldiers 605 a may be dispersed around a User 50-controlled Soldier 605 a within a specific radius and follow User 50-controlled Soldier's 605 a movement. In another instance, ACAAO-enabled Soldiers 605 a may move autonomously toward a certain point or goal in 3D Computer Game 18 a. In a further instance, ACAAO-enabled Soldiers 605 a can be completely autonomous and rely solely on the knowledge learned from User's 50 methodology or style of operating Soldier 605 a. In other aspects, ACAAO Unit 100 enables a professional or other experienced User 50 (i.e. game player, etc.) to record his/her knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.) and/or other repository. User 50 can then sell or make available his/her knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a to other users who may want to implement User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a. Knowledgebase 530 and/or other repository comprising User's 50 knowledge, methodology, or style of operating Soldier 605 a can be available to other users via a storage medium, via a network, or via other means.

One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the aforementioned features, functionalities, and embodiments described with respect to 3D Computer Game 18 a can be implemented in any 3D Application Program 18 such as a 3D virtual world, 3D graphics application, computer aided design (CAD) application, and/or others. Similar features, functionalities, and embodiments can also be implemented in a 2D Application Program 18, and/other application program as applicable, and vice versa.

Referring to FIG. 37, in some exemplary embodiments, Application Program 18 may be or include a 2D Computer Game 18 b. Examples of 2D Computer Game 18 b include a strategy game, a shooter game, a tile-matching game, a platform game, and/or others. Avatar 605 may be or include Tank 605 b within 2D Computer Game 18 b. Tank 605 b can be controlled by User 50 (i.e. game player, etc.) through inputting operating directions via Human-machine Interface 23 such as a game controller, keyboard, joystick, or other input device. For instance, responsive to User's 50 manipulating one or more game controller elements, Tank 605 b may be caused to move, maneuver, shoot, and/or perform other operations. Computing Device 70 may include or be coupled to ACAAO Unit 100. ACAAO Unit 100 can obtain objects (i.e. Helicopter 615 ba, Rocket Launcher 615 bb, Communication Center 615 bc, Tank 615 bd, etc.) and/or their properties in Tank's 605 b surrounding within 2D Computer Game 18 b. ACAAO Unit 100 may create or generate one or more (i.e. stream, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, and/or other elements or information representing Objects 615 in Tank's 605 b surrounding. ACAAO Unit 100 can also obtain Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Tank 605 b. ACAAO Unit 100 can also optionally obtain any Extra Info 527 (i.e. time, location, computed, visual, acoustic, contextual, and/or other information, etc.) related to Tank's 605 b operation. As User 50 operates Tank 605 b in circumstances including objects with various properties as shown, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn Tank's 605 b operation in these circumstances by correlating Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Tank's 605 b surrounding with one or more Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Tank 605 b. Any Extra Info 527 related to Tank's 605 b operation may also optionally be correlated with Collections of Object Representations 525. ACAAO Unit 100 can store this knowledge into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). In the future, ACAAO Unit 110 may compare incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Tank's 605 b surrounding with previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 including optionally using any Extra Info 527 for enhanced decision making. If substantially similar or at least a partial match is found or determined, ACAAO Unit 110 may cause the Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 to be executed, thereby enabling autonomous operation of Tank 605 b in similar circumstances as in previously learned ones. For instance, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn User 50-directed maneuvering and shooting by Tank 605 b in a circumstance that includes Helicopter 615 ba, Rocket Launcher 615 bb, Communication Center 615 bc, Tank 615 bd, and/or other Objects 615 among which Tank 605 b may need to maneuver and/or with which Tank 605 b may need to interact, as shown. In the future, when a circumstance that includes one or more Objects 615 with similar Object Properties 630 is encountered, ACAAO Unit 100 may implement the maneuvering and shooting by Tank 605 b autonomously. In some designs, 2D Computer Game 18 b may include 3D effects such as the effect of flying objects (i.e. flying animals, aircraft, Helicopter 615 ba, etc.), objects on hills or mountains, objects on buildings, and/or other elevated objects in which case altitudinal information related to distance and bearing/angle of Objects 615 relative to Tank 605 b can be obtained, learned, and used. In other designs, the canyon (not enumerated) and/or parts thereof (i.e. cliffs, ridges, etc.) can be obtained as Objects 615 themselves, which may be learned and used.

Referring to FIG. 38, in some exemplary embodiments, an Area of Interest 450 can be utilized. In one example, Area of Interest 450 may include a radial, circular, elliptical, or other such area around Tank 605 b. In another example, Area of Interest 450 may include a triangular, rectangular, octagonal, or other such area around Tank 605 b. In a further example, Area of Interest 450 may include a spherical, cubical, pyramid-like, or other such area around Tank 605 b as applicable to 3D space. Any other Area of Interest 450 shape can be utilized depending on implementation. The shape and/or size of Area of Interest 450 can be defined by a user, by ACAAO system administrator, or automatically by the system based on experience, testing, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, or other techniques, knowledge, or input. For instance, Area of Interest 450 may include or be defined by a circle around Tank 605 b with a radius of 250 meters. Any other radiuses or sizes of Area of Interest 450 can be used such as 0.27 m, 1 m, 7 m, 19 m, 382 m, 7116 m, 49276 m, and so on. Utilizing Area of Interest 450 enables ACAAO Unit 100 to focus on Tank's 605 b surrounding, thereby ignoring extraneous detail in the rest of the space. In some designs, Tank's 605 b surrounding may include or be defined by Area of Interest 450. In some aspects, Area of Interest 450 can be subdivided into sub-areas (i.e. sub-circles, sub-rectangles, sub-spheres, etc.). Sub-areas can be used to classify the surrounding by distance from Tank 605 b. For example, the surrounding closer to Tank 605 b may be more important and may be assigned higher importance index or weight. As User 50 operates Tank 605 b in circumstances including objects with various properties as shown, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn Tank's 605 b operation in these circumstances by correlating Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Area of Interest 450 around Tank 605 b with one or more Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Tank 605 b. Any Extra Info 527 related to Tank's 605 b operation may also optionally be correlated with Collections of Object Representations 525. ACAAO Unit 100 can store this knowledge into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). In the future, ACAAO Unit 110 may compare incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Area of Interest 450 around Tank 605 b with previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 including optionally using any Extra Info 527 for enhanced decision making. If substantially similar or at least a partial match is found or determined, ACAAO Unit 110 may cause the Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 to be executed, thereby enabling autonomous operation of Tank 605 b in similar Areas of Interest 450 as in previously learned ones. For instance, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn User 50-directed maneuvering and shooting by Tank 605 b in an Area of Interest 450 that includes Rocket Launcher 615 bb, Communication Center 615 bc, Tank 615 bd, and/or other Objects 615 among which Tank 605 b may need to maneuver and/or with which Tank 605 b may need to interact, as shown. In the future, when an Area of Interest 450 that includes one or more Objects 615 with similar Object Properties 630 is encountered, ACAAO Unit 100 may implement the maneuvering and shooting by Tank 605 b autonomously.

Referring to FIG. 39, in some exemplary embodiments, Application Program 18 may be or include a 2D Computer Game 18 c comprising multiple Avatars 605 that User 50 can control or operate. As multiple Avatars 605 can perform operations in such 2D Computer Game 18 c, Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c including multiple Avatars 605 and/or other Objects 615 may be more relevant than a particular Avatar's 605 surrounding or Area of Interest 450 for learning circumstances including objects with various properties. In some aspects, Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c may include the entire 2D Computer Game 18 c, a part of 2D Computer Game 18 c that is shown to User 50 (i.e. on a display, via a graphical user interface, etc.), or any part of 2D Computer Game 18 c. Examples of 2D Computer Game 18 c include a strategy game, a board game, a tile-matching game, and/or others. Avatars 605 may be or include Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. within 2D Computer Game 18 c. Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. can be controlled by User 50 (i.e. game player, etc.) through inputting operating directions via Human-machine Interface 23 such as a game controller, keyboard, joystick, or other input device. For instance, responsive to User's 50 manipulating one or more game controller elements, Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. may be caused to move, maneuver, shoot, and/or perform other operations. Computing Device 70 may include or be coupled to ACAAO Unit 100. ACAAO Unit 100 can obtain objects and/or their properties in Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c. For instance, Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c may include Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc., Ships 615 c 1-615 c 3, etc., and/or other objects. Properties of each of the objects may include a location defined by coordinates. ACAAO Unit 100 may create or generate one or more (i.e. stream, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, and/or other elements or information representing Objects 615 in Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c. ACAAO Unit 100 can also obtain Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. ACAAO Unit 100 can also optionally obtain any Extra Info 527 (i.e. time, location, computed, visual, acoustic, contextual, and/or other information, etc.) related to Ships' 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. operation. As User 50 operates Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. in circumstances including objects with various properties as shown, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn Ships' 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. operation in these circumstances by correlating Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c with one or more Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. Any Extra Info 527 related to Ships' 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. operation may also optionally be correlated with Collections of Object Representations 525. ACAAO Unit 100 can store this knowledge into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). In the future, ACAAO Unit 110 may compare incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Area of Interest 450 in 2D Computer Game 18 c with previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 including optionally using any Extra Info 527 for enhanced decision making. If substantially similar or at least a partial match is found or determined, ACAAO Unit 110 may cause the Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 to be executed, thereby enabling autonomous operation of Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. in similar circumstances as in previously learned ones. For instance, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn User 50-directed maneuvering and shooting by Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. in a circumstance that includes Ships 615 c 1-615 c 3 and/or other Objects 615 among which Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. may need to maneuver and/or with which Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. may need to interact, as shown. In the future, when a circumstance that includes one or more Objects 615 with similar Object Properties 630 is encountered, ACAAO Unit 100 may implement the maneuvering and shooting by Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3, etc. autonomously. In some designs, the islands (not enumerated), parts thereof (i.e. cliffs, ridges, beaches, mountains, etc.), and/or objects thereon (i.e. buildings, etc.) can be obtained as Objects 615 themselves, which may be learned and used.

One of ordinary skill in art will understand that the features, functionalities, and embodiments described in the above exemplary embodiments with respect to Soldier 605 a, Tank 605 b, and Ships 605 c 1-605 c 3 can similarly be implemented by/with/on any Avatar 605 of Application Program 18 or by/with/on any Application Program 18.

In some exemplary embodiments (not depicted), Application Program 18 may not comprise an Avatar 605 and/or may not rely on Avatar 605 for its operation. Application Program 18 can be controlled by User 50 through inputting operating directions via Human-machine Interface 23 such as a mouse, keyboard, or other input device. For instance, responsive to User's 50 pressing one or more mouse buttons, moving the mouse, and/or pressing keyboard buttons, an Object 615 of Application Program 18 may be inserted, deleted, selected, moved, and/or subject to other operations. Computing Device 70 may include or be coupled to ACAAO Unit 100. ACAAO Unit 100 can obtain objects and/or their properties in Application Program 18. In some aspects, Area of Interest 450 in Application Program 18 can be utilized as previously described. Area of Interest 450 in Application Program 18 may include the entire Application Program 18, a part of Application Program 18 that is shown to User 50 (i.e. on a display, via a graphical user interface, etc.), or any part of Application Program 18. For instance, ACAAO Unit 100 can obtain Objects 615 in Application Program 18 shown to User 50 via a graphical user interface. ACAAO Unit 100 may create or generate one or more (i.e. stream, etc.) Collections of Object Representations 525 comprising Object Representations 625, Object Properties 630, and/or other elements or information representing Objects 615 in Application Program 18. ACAAO Unit 100 can also obtain Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Application Program 18 and/or Objects 615 thereof. ACAAO Unit 100 can also optionally obtain any Extra Info 527 (i.e. time, location, computed, visual, acoustic, contextual, and/or other information, etc.) related to Application Program's 18 and/or Objects' 615 thereof operation. As User 50 operates Application Program 18 in circumstances including objects with various properties, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn Application Program's 18 operation in these circumstances by correlating Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Application Program 18 with one or more Instruction Sets 526 used or executed in operating Application Program 18 and/or Objects 615 thereof. Any Extra Info 527 related to Application Program's 18 and/or Objects' 615 thereof operation may also optionally be correlated with Collections of Object Representations 525. ACAAO Unit 100 can store this knowledge into Knowledgebase 530 (i.e. Neural Network 530 a, Graph 530 b, Collection of Sequences 530 c, Sequence 533, Collection of Knowledge Cells 530 d, etc.). In the future, ACAAO Unit 110 may compare incoming Collections of Object Representations 525 representing Objects 615 in Application Program 18 with previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 including optionally using any Extra Info 527 for enhanced decision making. If substantially similar or at least a partial match is found or determined, ACAAO Unit 110 may cause the Instruction Sets 526 correlated with the previously learned Collections of Object Representations 525 to be executed, thereby enabling autonomous operation of Application Program 18 and/or Objects 615 thereof in similar circumstances as in previously learned ones. For instance, ACAAO Unit 100 may learn User 50-directed selecting an Object 615, moving an Object 615, and/or deleting an Object 615 of Application Program 18 in a circumstance that includes various Objects 615. In the future, when a circumstance that includes one or more Objects 615 with similar Object Properties 630 is encountered, ACAAO Unit 100 may implement the selecting an Object 615, moving an Object 615, and/or deleting an Object 615 of Application Program 18 autonomously.
